Hello everybody, just looking for some guidance. Had a dino issue due to my nitrates and phosphates bottoming due to my feeding qty and running my skimmer and refigium light 24 hrs day. Corrected my refigium schedule and began feeding a bit more also dosed nitrate to bring numbers up. I did a sand bed vacuming through a 5 micron filter in a canister, blacked out the tank for 3 days and dosed microbacter7 also installed a UV light.Well after 3 days turned my lights up to 20% and mostly blue and began to monitor the sand bed. So far I have not seen any presence of dino appearing. It's been a good 2 week and I like to know if I could ramp my lights up. Enclosed are pics of my rocks and sand in regular ambient light. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
The tank was setup in August of 2022.
