Hello my name is Anthony. This is my first post. But not my first time on here. I’ve been a ghost watching, learning, and researching as a non member since i started 8 years ago in the saltwater world. I greatly appreciate this forum and everyone in it.
So I’ve had numerous tanks with great beauty and success. But it seems that as i started getting into bigger and better stuff everything has become more complicated. I have a 75g that i had to restart a year and a half ago due to what i believe was a mass murder due to my bubble tip anemones. Everything died within minutes. I tore the tank apart cleaned everything and started over new sand new rock new water. I let the tank mature and cycle for a month before introducing anything. I also continuously checked my water and it’s always perfect in the parameters. I have 2 engineer gobys and 2 Percula clowns. That’s all I’m able to have keep alive in there since gha has broken out. I’ve literally tried everything to get rid of it. I’ve done 20 percent water changes every week for the last 2 months. I scrubbed the algae off all rocks. I have a hang on the back refugium that i can never seem to keep chateo algae alive in. I tried dosing. I tried the anti fungal pills. I’ve tried snails and crabs and fish and sea hairs that are known to eat and help. I limit light hours and food. I have a canister filter that i change the filters every 2 weeks. I’m at a loss. Also I bought a uv sterilizer and put it in the refugium where it’s not in contact with the fish or anything in the main tank. I recently 2 weeks ago cleaned all the algae off the rocks again and this is what it looks like. Please don’t be tooo hostile. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
