Hello all!
it's been a while so I just wanted to put up some updated pictures and note the tanks progress.
I have a few more fish that are currently going through qt. Lightning maroon, midas blenny, and scopas tang.
also got a few frags in from wwc and will be getting some from battlecorals in the near future!
the current state of the tank has been problematic.
I just recently stopped carbon dosing, changed algae type in the fuge and changed my water change schedule.
basically with the food I can feed I kept ending up with an inverse nutrient relationship. Low nitrates and high phosphates.
I never found a sweet spot for gfo use that wouldn't drop p04 to zero.
With the changes I've made so far nutrients are now more in balance with each other.
I'll be using brightwells phosphate remover to manage p04 from now on. I may start carbon dosing at a lower rate than before for n03.
that being said, I have been dealing with some cyano and algae. Nothing major, but still annoying. If I have to ill use some chemiclean and vibrant.
