Hi,
Display tank is fish only, thinking of going hypo to fight flukes.
Tank is 1.5 year old and all rocks have algae that the tangs (and angelfish) enjoy grazing on. I'm not sure which type of algae it is but it is quite short, less than 0.5". I don't mind it as it serves as food and is barely noticeable when looking at the tank.
Params:
Ammonia/Nitrite/Nitrate - 0
Phosphate - 0.05
Two concerns that I have with going hypo:
1) Current bio filter is very good. Will going hypo hurt it?
2) Will the algae die off in hypo? and risk raising ammonia in the tank?
Also, how long should I stay in hypo if flukes is the target?
Thanks
