So I had a pump failure and it resulted in some pretty aggressive cyano growth. I already was a bit high on phosphates and nitrates (.12 and 15). I figured the two set the stage for a bloom.
I decided to try chemiclean. It worked well. After 48hrs I did the 30% water change. My corals and fish actually perked up). When I measured the phosphates and nitrates today (the next day), they were .22 phosphate and 20 nitrates. Much higher than I keep.
Since I just did a 30% water change,
my question is will chemiclean skew my testing? If so for how long?
