So sorry. I forgot to include. Nothing drastically changed in my water params except temp went up a whole degree probably because it was nice outside yesterday so I opened the window and forgot to close it this morning (which was very hot) It’s currently going down. As for RO water, I believe thats what got me into this mess. I bought RO/DI water from a lfs (a little sketchy) for a little while until i decided it’d be much cheeper to just make my own. I recently ordered my own RO/DI system, but it hasn’t come in. I say sketchy because the RO/DI water was supposedly put into distilled water gallon jugs, but was told it was rodi water. I did read that distilled water was alright for an aquarium, so I didn’t question it too much. I even tested the tds and it read 0. I use a Current Orbit USA marine lighting for 10hrs/day. My calcium, phosphate and KH tests aren’t the most trustworthy so take those with a grain of rice. I’m sorry I’m new and I’m currently looking i to getting better testing kits!
:( I was afraid what I thought were diatoms were dino, I did a microscope test and found no dino, but I might not have done a good sample of it. Ill re examine, but what do you recommend doing with the corals. I have an extra tank used for QT if necessary. Would it benefit me moving the corals and trying to get as much of the “brown stringy” stuff off as possible?
It is very hard to take the pic and I also have a crappy microscope lol
Will the corals be okay with that? I only have softies and they’re pretty hardy.
Currently I have it all on the sandbed, but I believe it creeping up on the rockwork. That’s probably why I saw it on the corals. Hopfully not too late. Thanks for all the help!
