Hey everyone. 3 month old tank here, haven't really much in terms of algae yet, but this stuff just exploded recently, too much my CuC to keep up with. I THINK this is diatoms, and if so, just ride it out? I'll brush the rocks and vac the sand tomorrow during weekly water change.
Water parameters:
Tank size: 120 gallon
Sump size: 40 gallon
Salinity: 1.025-1.026
NO3: 5ppm
P04: 0.01 (dosing trisodium phosphate to maintain detectable levels)
Alkalinity: 9.3dKh
Calcium: 510 ppm
Magnesium: 1400 ppm
Temperature: 77.8°F
Using Instant Ocean Reef Crystals. Doing roughly 10% weekly water changes. Changing filter sock every 3 to 4 days, protein skimmer running, cheato algae in refugium. CuC consists of reef cleaners standard bundle for a 40 gallon (didn't want them to starve right off the bat), more CuC on the way.
