Hey guys, thanks in advance. I have been battling GHA for months now..its embedded in my sand. I have siphoned, scooped it out, scrubbed rocks, added new sand, which stirring things up maybe why i lost 3 fish this week. I have used flux rx, doesnt really do much. Its just got me so defeated.
Just upgraded my cleanup crew to 3 emeralds, roughly 20 blue leg hermits 12 astera snails.
I use api test kits and my LFS does the same and they pretty much end up with the same readings as me. BUT
Parameters are
55 gallon with small sump, not sure size.
Ammonia-0
Nitrate-0
Nitrite-0
Calcium-415
Phosphate-0
Mag..?
Alk..?
Ph..8.2
Salinity..1.25/1.26..fluctuates depending on when i add fresh ro because of my long work hours.
Light-fluval sea 3.0. Blues 100% white 70%(upped 10%weekly from 30). Purple 50%. Running about 12 hours.. than 3 hrs 10%blue.
I do realize i run my lights a little long, just like to see and feed before work and see a bit after is all.
Did a water change and scraped glass on saturday. NOT THE BACK GLASS, but this is the growth.
