View BadgesSo the tank is 2 month old, at first I thought it was just diatoms.... but it seems different, I noticed bubbles in the tank, so I did some research, a few threads popped up, it was 50/50 split between early stage of Cyano or early stage Dino... so I’m at loss here because they have completely opposite ways to deal with them...
the bubbles are only during the lights on, so it photosynthetic, the brown has tiny little hairs.
No fish in the tank, 2 died last week of brook, only 6 snails and a cleaner shrimp and 3 corals...
nitrates are 2ppm and phosphates zero, been trying to feed extra to get phosphates up but I’m thinking I’m just some kind of algae now
I running carbon for a about a week, water was dirty and moved some corals.
Not running any GFO
Ph and kh stable
Thinking of doing a black out, and water change after with gravel vac. Unless I’m completely sure what it is
I do t want to add chemicals right away, I would rather learn what it is and and try an counteract this the natural way
Let me know what you think?
