I have a 29 gallon tank and I have been having a lot of algae and phosphate problems. Last time I tested my phosphates were at .85 ppm, and my nitrates were at 15 ppm. I have a good amount of corals and they are doing pretty good but I feel like they are not opening or growing as they should for some reason. I just started dosing hydrogen peroxide to help with the algae problem, it helped before when I did a blackout a few months ago but the algae is coming back. I just feel like I am struggling to keep it away and keeping my parameters consistent. Im not sure if I cycled my tank wrong or something in the beginning which lead to these problems. The tank is almost 9 months old now. For stocking I have 2 clownfish, 2 filefish, 1 tailspot blenny, and a yellow wrasse.
I have a medium cpr aquatics hang on the back refugium and a aquamax protein skimmer for my filtration, no sumo on my tank.
many advice on what I can do to keep the phosphates down and how to keep algae away? My phosphates were at .30 about a month ago but lately they spiked.
