So my algaebarn chaeto is turning white/clear and starting to break apart. Looking through threads here, sounds like it could be either flow, nutrients or perhaps iron?
I run a 100w cannagrow grow light 8pm > 4am (although i initially had it on 12hrs)
Tank is fairly new, ~4month old, with 3 fish, feeding 1/4 cube mysis and pinch of pellets daily.
My build thread is here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/cnidus’-cube-build-w-reef.701915/#post-7332479
I'm measuring near zero nitrates and have a hanna phosphorous ULR on its way to check phosphates. I dont know if thats because there are no nutrient or if the chaeto is still consuming all of it. Also ordered the brightwell chaetogrow incase its an iron issue.
I used the skimmer chamber as my fuge.. it seems flow is reasonable, but not certain.
What am I doing wrong? What should i test / try?
