My tank is just under a year old and I’m having some issues with Dinos. My tank is a reefer 425 xxl and I have a 25 wat pentair plumbed into the return running at 450 gph. I also have a reef mat filter roller, a refugium lit by a Neptune glo, and a RO elite 150 sss skimmer with a recirculating CO2 scrubber.
My nitrates are 0 and my phos is 0.05.
Tank is heavily stocked with 12 fish and I feed 2 cubes per day.
I’m reluctant to take my skimmer or fuge down because my pH runs around 7.95-8 while dosing soda ash to keep alk around 8.4. I’m going to give Kalk a shot to see if that helps
I could take my filter roller off line but my tank has a lot of particulate while feeding avast marine reef jerky.
Should I start dosing Nitrate and Phosphate? Will that help with the dinos? Any else I should try? I just bought a bottle of microbacter 7 to see if that helps.
Thanks for the advice
