New to the reef world and would love some help so I don’t previous owner left me with a 350 gallon tank.. maybe 60 gallon sump?
I also messed everything up by trying to connect the Apex system to my email... and now the tank is having a ton of pink slime/cyano on the rocks.
Learned to do a water change.. and sorta clean up the cyano on sand while taking out the water... but impossible to remove them on the rocks... considering using chemiclean..
might have accidentally changed the positioning of the 2 wavemakers (gyre xf250)
Any advices on these items below?
1. Positioning of wavemakers..I know one has to go towards the surface... for air..... and that’s about it.. since I have two.. that’s about 10600 GPH... I think that’s good enough for 350 tank? Not sure...
2. Chemiclean? How to remove the lovely slimes on the rocks... and bubble algae? The tank is very high up and I need a ladder... so removing rocks to clean is very difficult
3. I think the previous owner did triton method... and have macro green algae in the sump tank....with a kessil growth light. What the heck is the healthy ones and am I supposed to clean up the slimy or non slimy one?
4. how high of intensity, duration, color of lights do you use? Wondering if my color is too white or too intense that might have messed up the tank.. it all came.... hell once I reset the apex setting and lost all of her previous set up..
currently have 8 kessil light on top..
thank you very much for reading this newbs post... my fish appreciate it
