Can you post a picture of your tank?

 

[Anirban]

Your PO4 is more than NO3 so you have to fix that. You can run some carbon it will clear up the water too.

I used zeozym with coral snow and it really made my tank look like it did not have any water in it.
Are you running zeolite? Mulm shaker/zeo reactor?
Wish nanotopia was around, she had one of the best zeo systems I have seen to date.

 

[Daniel400G]

So I have 1.5L of Zeolite . Vibes once a day for 1 minute.
I have coral snow and zeozym . After using it the tank get worse????
I need to clean the glass 2-3times a day. Attached are some pictures, rally hard to see. It's like a green slim-algae on the tank .

After looking into all possible issues I found the issue....huge newbie mistake, my DI resin was used up. I was getting 210 ppm tds out of my rodi system. I have done at least two 30 gallon water changes on my 175 gallon with the crappy water in the last 2 week.

I have taken out the marine pure.

I want to do a 80 gallon water change on my 175 gallon system (including sump)
replace the zeolite stones and carbon because they're due to change in 1 week.

I want to put in some left over cabirsea fake rock ( never used, left over from my build) to replace the marine pure in my sump

What should I do?

Above sound safe?

What about dosing?

Thanks!

TS : have you gone to zeovit forum to ask the question ?

 

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

I've never used the zeovit system, so cannot advise on which of their secret products is best to use for your purposes.

So here are some pictures of my tank. After my large water change.
6 days ago I did a 25 gallon water change.
2 days ago I did another 50 gallon water change.
Trying to beat this issue of green water-slime.

Picture is this morning after all the changes .
My rodi water is now at .4tds.

Alk 7
Calc 1350
Mag 1400
Phosphate .18 (Hanna checker)
Nitrate .1 or 0

Here is my lighting schedule.
Could it be this issue?
3 radion lights on my 5 foot tank
Colours don't change, just the intensity percentage.
Should a change anything? Colour okay?
Good for growing sps?

 

[Daniel400G]

Flow,
2 mp40 on one side of my tank
250 max gyre on the other side of my tank

Vertex 200i skimmer

 

[Daniel400G]

What does everyone think this is?
Lighting issue?
Zeo dosing? Following the instructions on this .
??????????
