Hello everyone, this is my second post,
I just came back from my LFS with a new phosphate ulr reagent pack since mine had expired. I also use Hanna testers. I did my 2-gallon weekly water change yesterday and just finished testing today.
Here are my water parameters:
Nitrate: 7.41 ppm
Phosphate: 0.02 ppm
Alkalinity: 8.6 dKH
Salinity: 34.7 ppt at 78.3 F
Yesterday, I mentioned in my welcome post how I have transferred my unhappy corals from my 32.5 Fluval Flex to my IM 10 g Nuvo. This tank has been set up for 4 weeks now, and each day, corals are showing significant signs of recovery, especially the zoas. But what has been happening over the last 3 weeks is hair algae growth on the frag rack and plugs that is reddish-brown (I will attach images below). I believed this transferred over from the last tank. It is easy to remove with a toothbrush and somewhat difficult to blow off with a turkey baster. For my CUC, I have a couple of astreas and the 2 blue-legged hermits that eat the hair algae. I go in and scrub with the toothbrush and blow off with the baster around twice a week, and clean the filter sock also. I need your guys opinion, help identifying, and advice to solve this issue.
Appreciate all the help!
