I feed half a cube of frozen at night and add 10ml of AB+ in the morning. It seems to keep PO4 around the 0.1ppm range.Have you been feeding more? If you feed frozen it’s a good way to get more fish poop/bacteria in the system without adding incredibly large amount of PO4…
Have you been dosing the AB+ this entire time? If so, I’d stop dosing that until the algae issue has subsided. Your remaining corals are not up taking the nutrients you’re adding. I would personally feed the fish, and dose helpful things for biome like live phyto and pods as discussed. Just my $0.02, but your algae issue could be from overdosing the AB+…I feed half a cube of frozen at night and add 10ml of AB+ in the morning. It seems to keep PO4 around the 0.1ppm range.
I find I always overshoot when I dose the straight PO4.
The big euphyllia had 3 heads bail out yesterday... Pretty demoralizing thing to come back to.
Interesting. No, I haven't been using it the entire time. Just a few days last week before I was away and today. I had been using live phyto, but I ran out and haven't ordered more yet.Have you been dosing the AB+ this entire time? If so, I’d stop dosing that until the algae issue has subsided.

Hmm I haven't thought of that. I tried a DIY one in my 25g at one point, but it worked too well and stripped the tank of nutrients.I think I mentioned this in another thread, but I am going through similar (but not as severe) issues, and I added an algae turf scrubber three weeks ago. Improvements aren't huge yet, it's only three weeks, but they are definitely there. Consider one in addition to the fuge?
Ya, it hasn't been fun. Pretty demoralizing having things go smoothly for 1.5years then lose 90% of the corals. I'm somewhat pushing through though.What a nightmare Hopefully you keep getting progress.
I can help with your flow settings… post your schedules and tile settings. Can direct message me if it’s easier.I've been playing around with my flow a bit. I had my original setting with the wave engine incorrect. I've changed them and I am getting more flow, but I'm not sure if it's enough.
I only have one coral not completely closed up and the only way I can get any movement to it is if I have the pumps set to 100% which seems a bit much?
Awesome. I'll post here in case anyone else is having issues and stumbles across this.I can help with your flow settings… post your schedules and tile settings. Can direct message me if it’s easier.
Are you using a WaveEngine with a Hydros controller or just the WaveEngine? Also, are you using the ReefOcto controller with 0-10v? Does yours look like this?Awesome. I'll post here in case anyone else is having issues and stumbles across this.
I got my nutrient export mode to work, I had to delete and recreate it though.
I'm looking to have my pumps go between ocean swell and square wave every 30mins until the nightime schedule kicks in.
Below is what I have each set to.
Then if I wanted to have nutrient export run once a day, I think I would just set a specific start and end time for it?
The pumps are set to 100% with the schedules capped out at 70%.
I think you said that you used the square wave pattern as well. Does it always alternate between the same flow settings it doesn't seem to vary the speed at all.
I'm using just the wave engine. No ReefOcto controller. All done through the wave engine.Are you using a WaveEngine with a Hydros controller or just the WaveEngine? Also, are you using the ReefOcto controller with 0-10v? Does yours look like this?
Something looks off…I'm using just the wave engine. No ReefOcto controller. All done through the wave engine.
Yep, looks like those pictures. I think I am messing up the start/stop and run times
