I started dosing nopox a few months ago (very very slowly) and it’s caused my tank to go absolutely haywire just in the last month or so. I’m dealing with cyano absolutely covering everything and parameters that don’t seem to match most other cyano outbreak situations.. along with all of my euphyllia bailing polyps over about a 2 week time period.
Everything has been stable except for nitrate slowly decreasing from around 50ppm to around 15ppm, and now alk going up because so much euphyllia has died..
Parameters are:
NO3 15
PO4 0.04
Alk 9.4
Temp 80.4
Salinity 1.025
Cal 430
Mag 1300
Tank is 11 months old
I’m dosing phytoplankton daily, tried dr Tim’s waste away, increasing flow, increasing water changes, using bio digest weekly. I have Chemiclean but seeing as I don’t really understand why I have it in the first place, I’m afraid it’ll just come right back. Also I have so much that I’m afraid I’ll nuke the fish with toxins. It’s seriously on every inch of the tank.
I don’t get it - please help!
