Hello everyone,
my tanks been up for about a month and a half-I’ve noticed that I’ve had a recent surge in algae cover on the rocks and bottom of tank. I can’t tell whether this is Cyno or Dino. I will be ordering some magnifying equipment to help get a better look but I will include some pictures with a single kessil on so you can get a generic idea. My parroters are all in check-
PH: 8.1
Salinity 1.024
78 F temp
0 nitrites
10ppm nitrates or so
0 phos
0 ammonia
Kh 11
Calcium was just dosed today as it was 360
I’ve used chem clean toda—added another powehead to increase flow. I’ve noticed the water isn’t crystal clear either. I took out my media bag of carbon. started doing 10% weekly water changes starting this past Sunday. Have an RO water system for top offs and water changes. I did add the purple/pink coral line about a month ago, and have been using micro-Bacter bright well and reef roids along with reef builder. I have a bio- brick in sump..I currently have black sponges in return section of sump as it doesn’t allow for filter socks (a trigger sump meant for a refegium.. going to try and get socks on there Sunday.
Any ideas?
