Hey all! I’m hoping somebody can help me, cause I frankly don’t know what caused my algae issue.
About 3 weeks ago I had this algae covering my sand, almost overnight. It’s brown, almost like a powder film; it easily comes off with a turkey baster or when I did a water change and siphon sections of my sand. It’s getting to be an issue on some of my coral, settling in the skeleton edges and causing them to retract, mainly my stuff on the sand bed. Today I noticed it on my rocks, and still flows off with a turkey baster.
My tanks a 75 gallon display, no sump. A little over a year old. Parameters are below. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Nitrate-22
Phosphate-0.24
Calcium-1450
Mag-1480
