Nutrition sea water

[Rene42]

I have a 29 g nano. I have been fighting a green algea bloom for a couple of months. I have exhausted all my options and thinking about starting over. However I have corals and fish in it. Condy anemone, magnifica anemone, mushroom toad stool, rock flower anemone, mini carpet, a few zoanthids, 2 true perc , fire fish goby, stripped basslet, orchid dottyback. Do you think that they would be ok if I switch out the water?

Have you never done a water change before?

Yes I have. Been in the hobby for over a year

Are you considering a 100% water change? Most of the bacteria is in the rock and sand, but you may want to find other solutions to the root of your problem besides resorting to a 100% wc that is a drastic solution to algae

Ah ok. I wasn't sure if you meant switch out the water as in water change or switch brands (such as making your own). Do you have a picture of the algae and your phosphate levels?

Phosphate levels are at zero.

I think you should find new homes for the live stock and restart. I’ve seen your other threads and it sounds like a restart would be good. It looks like you added livestock quickly and it caused problems, nothing good happens fast in this hobby
