15g nano, 8 months old. No detectable nitrates and i don't have a phos test kit.
I've noticed in the last couple of months small tufts of GHA starting to pop up, what looks like red cyano on the sandbed.
I try to tweeze the GHA and siphon the bed but results are short lived.
Water changes approx 20% a fortnight (store bought seawater and topups with RODI).
Bio load is a percula clown, a dottyback and a small flame hawk.
CUC consists of 5 trochus.
Filtration is filter floss and a bag of matrix, otherwise it's just live rock.
I was thinking of adding maybe adding some phosguard try starve the algae, though there's a lot of cautionary threads out there (i've got soft corals and an elegance).
Alternatively would bumping up the CUC (maybe some hermit crabs?) be a better option?
Love to hear peoples thoughts.
Cheers
