Hi All,
Looking for advice please.
My tank has been running for just over 3 months. All RODI based water and no live rock.
My parameters are: Am:0 Nitrite:0 Nitrate:10 Alk:8.6 Mg:1240 Ca:450 Salinity:1.025
I also have measured silicates at 0.
The tank is being dosed with 2 part Zelements.
I have a roller filter and skimmer plus UV.
If I manually turn over the sand in a morning, then within an hour or two the brown dusty stuff returns. I have some turbo snails which seem to be removing it from the rocks.
My lighting is 2 x Maxspect jump which are on the fish only setting for a total of 6 hours a day.
Stock has been added gradually and I now have 2x black and white clowns, yellow tank bred tang, blue tang, royal gramma, goby. I also have some turbo snails, 3 x cleaner shrimps and some hermit crabs.
Can anyone suggest what (if anything) I need to do to get rid of the brown stuff?
