Is this Cyano or Dino?
My tank is 4 months old and lately that pink slime thing (has bubbles under the slime) has increased on the sand bed. I have added some more flow to see if that helps. I change water each week and try to remove as much as i can, but it is back pretty much next day.
Would carbon help to reduce it? Can i run my tank without light even if i have two Bubble Tip Anemones, because i heard it will help getting rid of the Cyano. Do i need to reduce Nitrate and maybe increase the Phosphate level to have more of a balance? Or maybe i just wait it out and it will die by its own?
I am also running a 40 gallon sump with a Nyos 160 skimmer and Chaeto.
I run my lights on for 9 hours and then there is the moon phase for a couple of hours.
My parameters are:
Nitrate: 3,5 ppm
Phosphate: 0,0 ppm
Ammonia: 0,006 ppm
PH: 7,4 ppm
DKH: 14.1 (i know this is to high but i don't know how to lower it)
