Dino Outbreak

[Eric Woodliff]

Looking for some help in Dino problem I’ve had my Red Sea 250 (54gallon display) setup for 12 weeks now, the sand and half the rock were in my previous tank for an additional 4 weeks. Hard to tell from photos but it looks like dinos on the sand and glass. I have to clean the glass at least once a day.

Parameters are Ammonia 0, Nitrites 0, Nitrates 10, phosphates are 0 using Salifert. I don’t think I overfeed. I have a ton of flow. I run a huge skimmer rated for upwards of 200+ gallons. Just started a UV sterilizer. I run 1/2 cup carbon and 1/2 cup GFO.

I would raise PO4

I would raise PO4

Would you do that by stopping GFO, Skimmer or both you think. Or dosing?

I currently was reading 0 for my PO4 as well I don’t run carbon or gfo I brought mine up by feeding more but just be careful with the feeding more make sure they are eating all of it it will slowly raise it.
