IM 20 gallon. lps, leathers, rock nem, 2 clowns and various inverts. Nitrate 0 ppm, phophate .01 Hanna ULR, pH 8.0, dkH 9, 1.025, temp 82 (recently raised see below). Running AI prime ab+.
Recently had a cyano outbreak but seems to have receded and dinos may have taken their place.
I have been keeping up on my water changes around 12% per week and religiously exchanging filter pads, siphoning and scooping algae from sand bed religiously. I realize my low nutrients may be causing the issue. I have been dosing with microbacter 7 but to no avail. Trying to feed more. I have been running chemi pure blue and purigen but recently removed purigen as it might be overkill.
I have a large leather that has recently shed but appears to now shed everyday. However rather than the clear slough, it comes off more brown making me think dinos. It is also on the sand bed. I recently raised temperature a couple degrees from a couple online sources claiming it cleared dinos. Please advise! In purple cup is slough suctioned from leather.
