Hi there,
i'm coming from a "bottom down" nutrient situation, bring then no3 and po4 back up (dosing it), no3 with success at 10 now, but for po4 always see 0.00/0.01 no matter how much i dose, i also feed a lot the fish 4 tangs, 4 chromis, 1 anthias and 2 clown, long story short, i had cyano and threated with chemiclean, decision based on the fact that some of them was growing over some corals (used in past and always had success) then 5 days later i see something that seem dino (i'm going to take some sample today for microscope ID) now i know my system is unblanced, i'm thinking also about that the po4 don't rise because are used by the cyano/dino situation. The tank is 4 months old and i have corals in it coming from a crasched tank (heavy metals) now i'm going to start dosing phyto for some biodiversity and i was wonder if an algae scrubber could help the situation providing competiotion to the dino or maybe is just a bad idea that is going to put back down to zero all my nutrients and help the dino? I want to find a natural balance so i don't wanna use any "fast" solution (see chemiclean mystake up here).
I know it's a bad situation
Hope someone can argue with me and find the best path togheter!
