Yep good luck with the plumbing can drive you crazy. But you will get it sorted. I’ve got another chiller coming tomorrow or Monday just for my native 50g . And I’ve cleared an area in my back garden for me to put down wild flower seed for summer if we get one loll

Whether ostreo or amphi- this works:
When we see zero readings, automatically we assume this is the cause but by the time you see zero numbers, its because the dino has consumed the po4 and no3 and are multiplying and in turn many dose no3 and po4 to bring numbers up not realizing they are feeding these flagellates even more.
Its biological deficiencies that are causing the dino structure and No light is first key followed by the addition of bacteria to overcome the bad bacteria allowing them to thrive
Prepare by starting by blowing this stuff loose with a turkey baster and siphon up loose particles. Turn lights off (at least white and run blue at 10% IF you have light dependant corals such as SPS) for 5 days and at night dose 1ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide per 10 gallons for all 5 nights which works as an oxidizer. If you dont have light dependent coral- turn all lights off. During the day dose 1ml of liquid bacteria (such as micro bacter 7 or XLM) per 10 gallons. Clean filters daily and DO NOT FEED AMINO OR ADD NOPOX which is food for dinos, however you can feed coral, food which will help no3 and po4 to increase. If increasing nutrients, try to keep no3 to about 5 until you are done battling these cells.
Doing a daily siphoning will help greatly But . . . . . Siphoning will reduce nutrients , so siphon the water into/through a filter sock and save the water and return it back to tank. Obviously clean the filter sock each time.
You can feed fish as normal and if doing blackout, ambient light in room will work for them

My nitrates always show high

A name you can trust I have never had a problem with there products ever soo in 30 years plus

My nitrates always show high

For this instance good but do moving forward 3 gallon daily water changes for two weeks should drop it
Skimmer will help also

Very good to watch

I hope to have a tank like this one day lol, but nothing more thinking about what it must cost to maintain it is scary.

You would move next to the sea for free water changes . But yes there’s a lot of money in that reef . But just think swimming in your own reef every day

Early in the year for shrimp in the months June July more July they are jumping all over hundreds of them. But in the colder months you hardly see them. Good luck I also love the flat fish but only ever seen one and it was too fast for me lol

 

[Nano_Man]
