Hi all,
I am finishing up a chemiclean treatment (in hour 42) After fighting cyano for about 5 weeks or so, I gave in.
Tested the water, nitrates are at 9.2 ppm, and PO4 is at .153 ppm. All checked with Hanna checkers.
Tank is about 5 months old. Very low maintenance, tank will be a softie/leather/zoa tank. Have a few of each so far. No fuge, no filter socks. Just a skimmer and UV.
It looks like I have some turf algae or GHA starting. I'm not worried about it, but wondering if my PO4 is high enough to worry about ?
I could run a GFO reactor, or fuge, or both. Id prefer not to just to keep the tank simple. Wondering if the .15 of PO4 is anything of concern ?
To note, I have minimal CUC..need to beef that up.
