Hi all,
I jusr cycled my tank and i have for a week a thick brown layer on my sandbed and rocks. At first i thought it was the standard diatom outbreak so i did nothing and added some trochus snails. Since a couple days i noticed some hairy strings and airbubbles. The strings dont go away in the evening tho.
Tested my water this evening and yep phosphate is 0 and nitrates are 2ppm
What to do now? Should I get a cheap microscope to ID? Should I get some liquid phosphate and nitrates and slowly dose till proper parameters?
Im currently running just my autofleece roller and my skimmer is off. I dose bacteria weekly and AF lifesource
I have currently a very low bioload: snails and exactly 1 coral in a fragrack
