So I've been battling something going on in my system for about a month now, and cant seem to get under control.
I had noticed byropsis, so I was dosing vibrant, twice a week. I had removed my Chateo for this. I dosed for eight weeks or more. Didnt do anything for bryopsis except dint it. I have since added Chateo back a week ago.
I never had any of these problems ( for the expectation of bryopsis getting in my system) before I removed Chateo and started vibrant. Prior my Chateo was growing like crazy.
Currently my byropsis is in 4 patches that I keep hand picking out. Im About to do reefflux dose for bryopsis, but want my p04 under control first. P04 at least I think is my issue.
About five or six weeks ago noticed some acan frags had algea growing around base of heads. One of my two elegancess wont open near the same it used too. My gold torches wont open. What looks like hair algea pushing a Lobo head back. And seems my sps growth has stunned. And some brown what looks like algea growing on substrate in lower flow areas or shadowed areas.
Odd algea in sump on block, and baffle, never been there prior. Red looking thin string like algea off pink sentosa. Tank shows no haircalgea on interior glass. Aside from a dark film.
Auto feeder goes off twice a day. Amount of food is quite small that it feeds.
My parameters are nearly all the same leading up to recent weeks. Averages from my charts.
1.025-1.026
Ca 440-480
Dkh 8.3-9
N03 0 (always reads zero at least)
P04 .1 (redsea)
Mag 1350-1400
These numbers are almost always constant when tank wasnt showing any of these other issues that started five six weeks ago.
Yesterdays numbers
1.025
Ca 457
Dkh 9
N03 0
Mag 1400
P04 .1 (redsea)
2.14 (hanna?)
Cal and dkh dose 4ml intervals over (96ml total 24 hrs)
Dose acro power once a week
Dos water changes 5 gallons daily
I currently added a reactor running gfo @66 GPH, put online last friday. (Previously had gfo bag hanging over baffle in sump)
Also think about building myself a algea turf scrubber to add to my system.
Please help.
