Hi, so I ran out of the normal mysis I feed and was forced to feee really heavy phosphate food. And my nutrients went through the roof and there is gha everywhere. So I’m wondering what is the best way to take the gha off the rocks? And I’m doing a 20% water change on a waterbox 50.3 aio later on today?
1. Scrub the rocks while they’re in the tank? (But will these release more phosphate/nitrate in the tank?)
2. TSKE each individual rock out and put it in the dirty water when I take it out, and scrub each rock in the bucket?
I used to use reefflux but I don’t want to go through the medication route, I would like to focus on the more biological route. Also I’m still working on getting my clean up crew since my died awhile back when I had a crash.
I’ll attach pics before the crash then when I got it under control and how it is now.
I always did have a high nutrient system my nitrates just never went down they always stayed at 50 even with water changes and skimmer
