Hi guys,
I'm a newbie with a small SPS tank
I read some suggestion to keep detectable NO3/PO4 level, so started dosing both NO3 and PO4 supplements.
Levels now are: PO4 .03 - .05, NO3 2-5
The problem is: the bottom and walls, as well as LRs are covered with GHA! (was predictable)
How do you guys deal with GHA in case of keeping steady level of nutrients much higher above zero? I heard some of reefers keep 10-15 NO3 and up to .1 PO4. Don't you suffer of GHA growth in your tanks?
Do I need just buy enough CUC (snails, hermit crabs etc.) or Zebrasoma to keep the GHA growth in balance?
