5 year reefer

Can you try the Hanna ULR Checker for phosphates and Salifert for nitrates, to crosscheck your API?

If your zeroed out, there could be some dinos in the mix.
I was questioning dinos myself. Don't even know where to begin if they are.

Looking forward to having you participate here at Reef2Reef! :)

Well,
If it is dino's???, you have to out compete them, by growing good bacteria's and so on.

Bought a lot of pods and pod juice, seemed to help... :)

I dose Red Sea Reef Energy pretty often to keep organics up in the water column. Dino's can thrive in a starving environment.
 
Welcome, welcome!

Teacher, right?

I love the summertime. With the wife off of work, we eat so well! She's also home to take fish deliveries o_O

Welcome home, you will love it here!

A refugium or turf scrubber may out-compete the nuisance algae, that would be my recommendation! :)
 
Welcome to R2R! We're glad you're here!!
 
Welcome to reef2reef, @AshleyBailey822!

If you recently switched to RO/DI water, then most likely there some contaminants from your source water still within your tank. This will take time to change with good water now.

As others have stated, can you post your complete water parameters?

And a picture of your tank would be helpful.
