So I created problems by getting cyeno algae now.
I start chasing nutrient problems due to several sps colonies after being in my tank for over a year started rtn.
My nitrate is always undetectable,
My phosfates will very from 0 to .15 but will return to zero in couple days tnx to my large refugium.
Here is my parameters:
Salinity 1.026
Alk range staying in 8 +- 1.0
Cal 450
Mag 1350
Nitrate 0
Phosphate 0-.15
Ph 7.8-8.3
Temp 80 to 81F
At the time when I was losing my sps both of my nitrates and phosfates was at 0. So I start feeding fish more, feeding corals. But still didn't help.
So for last week I start dosing neo nitro to increase nitrates. And here I am now concern because I see more and more cyeno growing, started on sandbed and now on rocks. Also started to dose energy ab+ by redsea.
Whole point of me doing it was to not lose corals. But I'm playing with chemistry of tank now, and not doing a good job at it. Looking for advice
