Hi guys, my tank is new, 15g total, 10g display, low populated (2 clown, 5 snails, 1 amboniensis, 3 frag), i have a skimmer, activated carbon and a chaeto reactor.
Chaeto isn't happy, is gettin whiteish little by little, for what i've got it can be due to low nutrient (i would not say light, there is surely enough light).
My value are:
KH 10
ph 8.2
nh3 less than 0.02
salinity 1.024
temp 27.2
CA 340
MG 1340
NO3 1
PO4 less than 0.02
I have some diatoms coming out during the day and going away at night. Reactor is ON 16h a day mostly when tank is off. I feed pellet, dried brine shrimp and today i have started with live artemia (and tomorrow frozen since i have freezed it). I feed twice a day (morning and evening) 2 times a week i feed corals nutrient and once a week minerals, oligoelement, etc (microbe lift all-in-one)
What should i do? Turn off the reactor and let it dye until i actually need it? dose no3 po4? feed more (what does it mean, how much more)?
