Finally I raised Nitrates to 10ppm. I had taken off Protein skimmer for two weeks and removed the handfull of macroalgae in past week then nitrates finally raised to 10ppm. I have small refugium. Now I will try to balance Nitrates with protein skimmer and by adding and subtracting macroalgae growth. One other issue is cyano algae. I'm about to move this tank to 90gal. I'll scrup off rock when I do this. Was going to use Hydrogen Peroxide to help in removal of algae. Other ideas? Will also add Chemiclean to help with cyano algae.Hello, long story short. I agree on nitrates/phosphates real important. For some reason I'm unable to raise these in my 55 gal tank. Where at 20-40ppm at one time. Added refug and ton of other things. Reduced to 0. Everything died. I removed everything except refug. Still 0 nitrates. Should I remove refug. What is eating all my nitrates? Could it be the rock and algae on rock? I'll attach photo. I'll be moving to new 90 tank. Need action plan here would really like to establish reef tank. Have 3 good size tangs and one clown. All other numbers per recommendation , my issue is 0 nitrates and phosphates I'm convinced. Thanks for ideas.
I would not do that. It won't completely get rid of nuisance algae or cyano, but it will cause a larger cycle during the tank move.Finally I raised Nitrates to 10ppm.
