Hello everyone,
My dad has a 150g FO and is trying to get into adding corals eventually. He has very high nitrates so he got some macroalgae last December to help, but it hasn't been doing much. In the 3+ months he's had this macroalgae he has not had to harvest any and nitrates are still very high. I'm wondering if there is anyone who has tips to help grow some macro. Also, we were sold "chaeto" but it does not look like chaeto at all, if someone could help identify what macroalgae he has that would be awesome!
He runs KessilH80 for 10 hours of red light opposite of tank lights.
SG-1.0215
pH-8.4
Ammonia-0ppm
nitrite- 0ppm
nitrate- 160ppm
calcium-520ppm
alkalinity- 10dKH
phosphate- 0.5ppm
magnesium- 1230ppm
