Tank reefer 350 (93gal)
age 8 months
mixed reef.
10 days ago I did tested my water. All where within the ranges I prefer except my Nitrates where at 10ppm. I also noticed by sand was getting dirty and had some hair algae growing from the sand bed. My coarse of action
1. added 2 cups of phosban in a reactor
2.added 2 cups of reefspec carbon in a reator
3. vacuumed sandbed and 10 gal water change
4. dosed 14 ml of Nopox over 48 hours
5. made a refugium and added chateo
Algae was was removed instantly and water is crystal clear. However the color of my Monti caps have been fading fast and look like they are bleaching. Yesterday I did a 10 gal water changed and took the reactors and my skimmer offline.
How do you recommend I proceed?
