I have a new tank 3-4 months old started with dead rock. Bacteria cycle, IPSF addition of life but things are going super slow and I’ve had a consistent brown algae problem. I’m pretty convinced it’s because my tank is low on nutrients. Oversized BBK skimmer, gfo, Cabon and I was doing weekly water changes with only 10 fish, 9 small!
So I’ve been feeding the tank heavy, took gfo and carbon offline for the past week and haven’t done a WC in 2 weeks.
Nitrate still shows 0.
Should I stop running the skimmer (pulls some junk)?
Other thoughts on raising the nutrients?
Thanks
