Hello,
So here is the story and the steps I took that lead to my current problem. I need to know if anyone knows what they are and any solutions.
I’m using Hanna phosphate ULR and Nitrate HR
1. Everything was ok from the time that I started my tank 6 month ago to 3 weeks ago.
2. I added a refugium with 3 weeks ago.
3. Added pods, amphipods, chateo, and red macro algae from algae barn.
4. Added FritzZyme Turbo Start and microbacter 7 within 2 weeks.
5. Within the last 2 weeks I removed about 5 pounds of live rock but added good amount of sand and media to refugium.
6. Nitrate was low last week so I added neonitro and got it to 3.6 and now its 0.00 after a 30% water change 2 days ago.
7. I added Cheato grow and phyto as well and now my phosphate is 0.03
now as of today 4-29-2024 this is how my tank looks like
