i see at least two damsels.Do you have any fish in there? If not then I'd cut out the lights entirely. You should also add more live rock.
thanks for the commetIt’s a new tank. Very common stages that everyone goes through. It’s often called ‘the uglies’. Don’t worry, just let your tank continue to stabilize.
Why? Nutrient control is at the very foundation of reef keeping. High nutrients require a change in husbandry. How do you propose a reboot is good advice here?i would reboot and start over. research as much as you can and ask for help if you are not sure of something. i would only feed a small amount once a day to keep nutrient levels stable. i would also use some different type of rocks.
This. As we’ve discussed elsewhere. There are a lot of fish in a new tank and you don’t have effective nutrient export. The chaeto you added will help. Doing regular 20% water changes will also help.It’s a new tank. Very common stages that everyone goes through. It’s often called ‘the uglies’. Don’t worry, just let your tank continue to stabilize.

No, it is not. Husbandry is careful cultivation and care. A reboot is a result of poor husbandry, among other things.a reboot is a change in husbandry.
exactly, with parameters like that, it is a result of poor husbandry. when i first started in this hobby 20 years ago i had poor husbandry and my parameters got bad. my latest tank is 8 months old and my nitrate levels never got above 10ppm. and that is because i want them there. i never went thru the uglies with this tank because years ago i rebooted and learned to control mother nature.No, it is not.

Keep us updated. I would stir the sand a bit and do a water change. I went through the diatoms and Cyano during the first few months as well. I stir my sand 2 times a week and the Cyano completely went away on it’s own.thanks for the commet
