So in advance apologies if this seems a bit random.
Six months ago upgraded to a RedSea Reefer 750XXL using Siporax and Zeovit then for various reasons the main one being time spent away with work I moved over to Triton 8 weeks ago to reduce responsibility on the family whilst I'm away.
Algae in the sump isn't growing at all. Sump it lit by a 240w UFO LED. Nitrate according to RedSea Pro Kit is hovering around 0.1ppm which I assume is the reason my Algae isn't growing. I know Triton don't offer a setpoint for ideal Nitrate but assume the reefers on this forum using Triton have an idea of what they feel is ideal.
Assuming I want to raise Nitrate what would you feel is the best way?
My stocking level to me feels fairly high (remember I was a zeovit person )
1 x Yellow Tang
1 x Goldflake Angel
1 x Flame Angel
4 x Bi-Color Anthias
2 x Common Clown
1 x Copperband Butterfly
1 x Twistii wrasse
1 x Yellow Tail Tamarin
1 x New Guinea Wrasse
Fed 3 x cubes Frozen and and about 2 gram of Masstick per day.
So.
1. Should I be worried by the lack of Algae in the sump?
2. Do I need to raise Nitrate?
3. Add more fish or just feed more?
Any thoughts appreciated.
Thanks, Chris
