New tank syndrome & phosphates.... Run rowa... If silicates are also high run phosguard instead.

i have the original skimmer from RSM in the back of the tank been running always
and i dont think i could run phosphate cuz there is no place i could put the phosphate reactor

Phosphate Reactor
 
Not too sure how the top of the tank looks, the Phosban 150 hangs on the back/side
