Hey all,

I’ve got a reefing buddy with a 5 year old 25 gal AIO mixed reef. The tank is overrun with GHA . I feel like I’ve thought of everything to test or ask in regards to lights and food. What am I missing?

Parameters:
Phosphate - .04
Mag 1280
Cal 430
Alk 8.4
Nitrate 4.2
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0

(1) Kessil blue mounted 14” above the tank, running blues & minimal white for 2 hours

Food - frozen brine & rotifers
No dosing or amino acids

Weekly 10% water changes

Raise magnesium to 1500. Lots of manual removal and weekly water changes. Diverse cleaner crew with urchins and turbos. No white light for several weeks just blue and UV.
