I'm a noob, but I'm trying my best. I've read the threads, I got a microscope, I raised my nitrates and phosphates, I installed UV, I did a blackout, clean my rocks and sand to get them into the water column, I stopped water changes. My corals are dying and I've made very little progress on the brown snot for 2.5 months. I've hesitated to use H2O2 and DinoX as that seems like a nuclear option. I don't want to kill off what little hair algae / green algae I have. Frankly speaking, I think in my case the conventional wisdom isn't holding - the dinos are out competing everything else. My tank is almost 8 months old and is an embarrassment.
What would your next step be?
What would your next step be?
- H2O2 every day?
- DinoX?
- Keep waiting? For how long?
- Set up the QT, move the corals and fish into that? break the tank down, irradiate it, buy new live rock and start over?
