Well, the acclimation to new light power WAS almost finished, there was just another 5 days to go. However, last Saturday after coming back from a trip, I saw there was a ton of dino in the tank; so this is what I've done:
EDIT: On that note, I'm looking for a better light for my aquafuge, any suggestions?
- Lighting schedule change, from 6 hr photo period to 2 hr photo period and a 1 hr ramp time.
- Started dosing kalk to increase PH from 8.2 to 8.4.
- Dosing more pods during dark period to eat up the dinos.
- Dosing more (20mil/day) phyto to increase nutrient level and feed the pods.
- Dosed appx 10ml of the following bacterial sources increase biodiversity.
- MicroBacter7
- Dr Tims
- Seachem Stability
- Turkey baster blow the dino off rocks, lightly brush the dino off LPS and SPS.
- Change filter pads daily.
- Trimmed the Cheato down and harvested Sea Lettuce (makes a great salad)
- Increase feeding to increase nitrates and phosphates.
- Added 2 large bags of carbon and a bag of Chemipure Blue
- Reduced skimmer time from 24/7 to 12hrs/day.
