Hi,
I am sure this has been asked multiple times before, but I am new to the hobby and found different answers in my internet search.
Is this Dinoflagellates, Diatoms, or Cyanobacteria? How do I get rid of it? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
I started this tank in March and started having this issue about a month ago. I added 3 bottles of Copepods a few months ago. I think I have enough rocks and used CaribSea Fiji Pink Live Reef Sand.
I do a 15-gallon water change weekly and make my water using only RODI and Reef Crystals.
Redsea 425XL 115 gallons (91 gallons display and 24 gallons sump).
Redsea ReefMat 500 (average 30 to 50 inches per day).
Skimmer Reef Octopus Elite 150-int.
2X EcoTech Marine Vortex MP40.
2X EcoTech Marine Radion XR15 G5 Blue.
2 Ocellaris Clownfish
1 Firefish
1 Hippo Tang
1 Damsel
1 PJ cardinal
1Banggai Cardinalfish
1 Blueband Goby
1 Randalls Goby
1 Pistol Shrimp
1 Scarlet Cleaner Shrimp
A few snails and scarlet red and blue crabs.
Daily feed with Ocean Nutrition Formula One Pallets in the AM and frozen Mycis PM.
Running lights 8 hours per day.
Salinity 1.025
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0
Phosphate 0
PH 7.9
Calcium 413
Alkalinity 7
Magnesium 1373
