Hey guys I could use a little help. I have a Red Sea reefer 425XL that’s been running for about 2 months. I’m going through my ugly stage right now with the rusty diatoms on everything. All fish and corals doing great. Just a little confused on why my chaeto is dying. Ammonia and nitrite are zero. My Hannah checker is reading zero for phosphates, but my API test for Nitrate is reading pretty high. I’ve heard stories about the API test lit not being too reliable, but just wondering why my chaeto would be dying if there’s nitrate for it to consume. I have a tunze refugium light running in my fuge from lights out to lights on overnight. Can anyone explain to me why my chaeto is dying? Please and thanks guys. Still learning
