I'd try something more 'meaty ' time being personally rather than the Nori if they aren't going for it....mysis?
Yes I was having problems with nutrients. Doing water changes and using "chemicals" to get rid of red slime. I was using one cube. Maybe I was not feeding enough.. I have 5 tangs, 2 clowns, 2 chromis, blenny, wrasse and purple fish, can't think of the name right now. Since this post the added nori seems to be working as long as I keep nori in the tank. I just spent so much money on these lps. Just don't want them to be picked apart.
Are your nitrates low and it was cyano? Or they were high? I chemicleaned a while back for cyano and it helped, at the time. Since then I have dumped the skimmer which seemed to have worked in my case over last 5 months. My tank softie dominant so that was likely the culprit, eating nitrates at record pace....I am a lighter feeder as well, always have been, I always worry about uneaten food, probably to an unhealthy obsession.
Yes it was cyano. In fact it's still on my center overflow. After I dosed red cyano rx it came off all the rocks and sand and my nitrates went sky high. After several water changes, Last time I checked they are back down to 5 and my phospates were at .25. I did a water change yesterday of 20 gallons. (150 gallon tank) Doing the RX treatment for 2 weeks made my dkh go down to 6.0!!. I dosed and now I was up to 8.4. My CA went up above 500 and my MG went down to 1260. Dosed MG to bring it back up and I haven't checked CA after the water change. All I can say when using red cyano rx your levels will go nuts. Skimmer, sterilizer are now back on and I put Dr.Tim gel back in. Talked to DR. Tim and he said I may be skimming too much. Maybe I need to turn it off? I need to bring my phospates down.
