Hi,
I have a Fluval evo 52L (13 gallon)
1 kenya tree frag
1 plating monti
1 gsp frag
2 small clownfish
So nothing heavy at the moment, looking to get some more corals in the future
I had issues with phosphate/nitrate causing huge amounts of green algae that I now have under control by using NOxPO4-X.
I am now using smaller daily (or every other day) doses of nopox to keep under control.
I've always had issues with pH being low but have noticed that my pH has dropped considerably (latest test 7.6 (tested at the same daylight hour each time)), my kenya tree always looks half closed nowadays.
I've tried increasing pH by opening the windows in the room, lots of air flow, even by adding an air pump to the tank but none of this has helped
don't really have space for a skimmer or refugium on this nano tank
I've been looking into pH buffers but not entirely sure on these - is there anything you could recommend?
Was also thinking of using kalkwasser but I don't have an issue with calcium or kH at the moment and don't want to be messing around with those if I don't need to
(calcium at 440 and kH at 12 I guess those won't change until I put in corals that will actually use it)
I'm scared of stopping nopox as I really don't want the algae to come back (took me aaaages to get in under control)
