Do you know what your phosphates are? That is one of the single biggest factors in naturally beating Dino’s. To me, that looks like a bacterial bloom, though one shouldn’t be near that major after 5 months.Good afternoon,
I am hoping to whoever is reading this that you can help me beat this battle of Dino’s . I currently have a 5 month old tank and have begun my battle with Dino’s . They have really taken off recently ( I just changed my aquarium from 29 gal to 40 ) and I think my tank upgrade may be the cause, because I am experiencing a bacterial bloom. I top off with rodi water and am using saltwater from lfs. My parameters currently are
11.8 dkh
1250 Mg
450 Ca
No ammonia /nitrites
Ph 8.2
1.026 salinity
As far as nitrates go , I think it is at 10ppm it is hard to tell with api test. I am dosing MB7 daily and babe turned off the white lights in hopes to help . I’m also feeding heavily with a cube of mysis daily and pellets. Reef roids twice a week. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you all
Is the initial tank 5 months old or the new tank? That is a big deciding factor, if you recently made the switch in the past month I’d say what you are experiencing is completely normal.
Please just be careful adding any chemicals. There are ways to resolve the majority of issues without chemical contaminants.
