Hi all,
I had to go to Japan for one month and automated my 40G breeder+sump. Everything went well but what I thought was diatoms ended up being Dinoflagellates! Since this tank has 2 clowns, 2 snails, and 3 hermits, I'm wondering if there's an easy way to eradicate this? I have a cycled QT tank where I can move the 2 clowns and scrub the shells of the inverts. I think the root cause of the outbreak is too much feeding as I had 2 Eheim feeders set to the smallest opening but that ended up being too much.
A bit about my setup:
40G breeder
29G sump
Skimmer
GFO+Carbon mini reactor (BRS)
Parameters:
Ammonia,Nitrites 0
Nitrates near 0
Phosphates near 0
