Hey so I’m looking for some help with my chaeto.
Nitrates 10
Phos .04
Twice now I have bought chaeto, and it grew for a couple weeks, and then slowly starts to die off. Edges get all gray and whispy and slowly it just loses mass and falls apart
After the first time I was advised that it could be lack of Iron, or some other micronutrient, so I started dosing ESV B+ and still had the problem.
Under a 150w ufo, about 14” off the water and I hve a pump in the chamber for water circulation. I didn’t anticipate this was going to be the type of problem I had, and although I have a skimmer I was counting on this fuge to be my primary nutrient export. Having green hair algae, and turf algae in display, I assume because of elevated nutes. Tank is about 6 months old
What should I do!?!? Bout to just put a sand bed down there, scrap the light, use it as a copopod safe haven and start dosing NoPox. Just looking for some advice from someone more experienced than I am
Thanks
