I have a fuge with chaeto in it with an ai prime fuge over it running opposite my tanks light cycle.
The chaeto was growing great for the past few months, although it was growing as basically a sheet over the surface which I would flip now and then to get light on both sides. I added an extra powerhead for flow but it never got tumbly, just pushed it to one side so I gave up and just keep flipping it.
Anyway, recently the chaeto growth slowed and cyano started showing up on my DT glass. Nothing on any rocks at all.
My nitrates are showing 0 on tests and I am waiting for a new phos test.
Does anyone know why this could be happening? I did stop feeding daily to once every other day, and I feed NLS thera A pellets. tank is 50 gal including DT and sump volumes, and there are only 3 fish (two clowns, one royal gramma) and a bunch of CUC and corals.
I may try to feed MORE to increase nutrients as the chaeto is paling and may not be getting nutrients? I also considered dosing iron based on some threads and videos i had seen saying it helps with chaeto growth.
What does everyone suggest?
