Been dealing with this stuff for awhile now, from alot of reading its seems that raising nitrates will help prevent this stuff coming back.
have used red slime remover but comes back within a week.
I'm running a 30g tank with 2 clowns, 2 trochus snails, 1 cleaner shrimp, heaps of baby trochus snails.
6 corals, all growing well
2 wavemakers
hd16 on a 8hr cycle
500L skimmer
Tank 1.5years old
Ammonia: 0.25 (tested after a feeding)
nitrite: 0
nitrate: 0
P04: 0 maybe 00.3 (so hard to tell giesemann test kit)
Use ro/di water
So got myself some "coral essentials nitrate up"
Questions:
1. How much should I up my nitrate ppm per day/week? (how much is too much at once)
2. I have 3 large xport bio bricks in my sump from my older bigger tank, would this cause problems so much media for a small tank? 3
