I'm just making this post to see if anyone has any insight on how to deal with this. As so of you may know I made a couple posts in the Dino thread some months back about issues I was having. I wasn't really sure if what I had is actually dinos. I'm just really frustrated and looking for any advice on how to fix this. Below are pictures of what I'm dealing with.
Yesterday I spent all day scrubbing my tank, rocks and sand to rid all of this nuisance algae. But as I was cleaning it I could actually see it growing back on my rocks. It would develop tiny little white specs that look like sand and start to develop into long strings of algae.
Basically my NO3 dropped to zero for a while and my P04s were elevated to around .06PPM. I believe this could have caused this outbreak or prevented it from going away?
Right now here is where my tank sits:
PO4: .037PPM
NO3: 2-5PPM
ALK: 8.0DKH
CALC 420PPM
MG 1500PPM
SG 1.026
I stated the tank with dry marco rocks and sand. I did have some traces of TIN that i did multiple water changes to help lower it. Tank has been setup since Dec 2017.
Right now I'm planning to do a 3 day black out and maintain my levels. Is there anything else I should do?
