My chaeto was doing really great in the refugium. However, I had a dino issue (ID'd as ostreopsis a month ago) for months. I recently added a UV to combat and didn't black out the display but put lights at 50%. I did stop the automatic water change of 1.5 gallons a day. Tank holds about 160 gallons. I dose a little chaetogro that I've continued to do.
In 5 days, the chaeto is starting to melt. Any idea why this would happen?
Parameters measured this morning
.15 PO4
10 NO3
405 Ca
1400 Mg
9.2 kH
The other interesting thing is that the PO4, NO3, and kH have all increased by a decent chunk over the last week too (previous numbers .06-.08 PO4, 2-5 NO3, 8.4 kH)
