Im at a point of giving up!
My tank is 30 gallon tank AIO and has been running for 5 months.
Heres the story. My LR is literally covered with algae. I checked my no3 and po4 and they are barely detectable. Albeit because of the algae is consuming them faster than I can test them.
I tried everything. Getting a chaeto. I use nopox and reduce feeding. I also did alot of brushing and removing them from the LR. THEY KEEP COMING BACK AND MULTIPLY.
I then did a H2O2 dip on my LR. and all algae on the LR is gone. Checked my No3 and they are at 25ppm but 0 phosphate.
I keep on dosing nopox to reduce po4. I did smaller water changes of 10% everyday for 3 days straight. No3 wont budge. Still maintaining at 25ppm. I dont feed during this period
So I did another bigger WC of 20%. Two times. Two ****** times. Now NO3 is finally at 10ppm. Using salifert test kit.
PO4 is still 0(SALIFERT). Im gonna check with hanna ULR this weekend.
Hair algae is still there though. But on the corner of my tank. Some on coral plugs. Some on my monticap. I dont have any clue how to remove them without annoying them. Those I can remove during WC, I siphoned them out
So heres my plan. I know my po4 is there because GHA is there. But im gonna start feeding more(ONCE A DAY) to increase PO4. which I hope will be use by Nopox to balance out my no3. WC is also scheduled for this weekend. HELP ME! I DONT KNOW IF I OVER REACT OR WHAT. but I JUST CANNOT eradicate them out of my tank!
