I have been struggling with my new reefer 425 for quite some time now.
The tank has been setup since July 2023. I used cycled rock from a brute can and roughly 40 gallons from an existing healthy tank. I used Dr. Tims to help seed the tank and didn't introduce fish until Augustish.
The corals I had to move from my existing system, really never took. I have a toadstool and a hammer or two left, none of which are thriving at all. All receded.
My fish all seem healthy, the issue is something just isn't right, my inverts have mostly all died, my urchin as of today did. He kept jumping off rock structure and landing on his back, like a suicide. I have done an ICP test of both my RO water and tank water, results attached. Nothing of concern. I test the water weekly, no issues. I dose NoPox daily.
I now have algae growing everywhere... I just don't get it. Any ideas / tips would be greatly appreciated.
I have attached one photo from a couple weeks back when the water had a massive haze, dosing the NoPox stopped that, but now the algae, see second photo.
