Hello, been visiting R2R for years for general advice. Now I need some targetted advice.
We have a 7-YO Red Sea Max Nano, 20 gal tank. It is recently had so much green algae on the glass that we clean twice/week.
Oscillarus clown
2 BTA (had 1, fracked a few weeks)
emerald crab
Brittle star
Hermit crabs
Turbo snails (down to 1)
8-10 Nassarius snails
Dosing with BrightWell phosphate guard, which keeps creeping up.
Dosing with API calcium supplement, which keeps creeping down.
All other chemistry tests well.
Nitrate, nitrite, ammonia all 0
We can't put a sand sifter like a watchman goby because the clown kills them. So relying on hermits, snails, and water changes for cleanup.
Any advice?
Thank you.
