Hi all,
About 3 weeks ago I installed a Kessil H380 in the refugium.
The chaeto is not growing as fast as the Hair Algae. I'm afraid the HA is getting all the nutrients. The Chaeto is getting a white where the light hits it.
I just cleaned my sump 3 days ago and take a look at picture, all that HA grew in just 3 days!!!
Any suggestions would be really appreciated!
I started running the H380 for 14hrs, I recently lowered to 12hrs, and today I lowered it to 10.
I took off the filter socks last week, could that have created the HA?
I started dosing Iron today.
NO3 and PO4 are zero
Ph 7.85 - 8
Cal 450
Mag 1500
Salt 35
Temp 78
