70g DT, 91g whole, running for 3 years.
Just 3 months before my tank looked beautiful and a centerpiece conversation for all the guest that sees.
I check all parameters every week, dosing brs kh and ca, once a week RedSea AB's
Don't know what happen, had cyno bacteria bloom, tried my best to control naturally, couldn't do it, then started hairy green alage, couldn't control either, lot of hours spend plucking by hand few times. sps covered by those hairy alage are gone. Now corals like aussie torch, flower annemone, mushrooms, some polyps, ricardio and more does not seem well, not much expansions or colors.
Today PO4 reading showed 0.13, Added BRS GFO, Changed 50% water just 2 weeks ago. Use Ro/DI water, output on the meter shows 1 or 2ppm
Cyno and hairy alage does not seem to stop.
I added some snails, two pincussion urchins, one sea hare to tackle those alage, but its very slow and not even sure if there are doing their job.
I am really fed up now, once a beautiful tank now looking all aquascape messed up, dull corals.
What else i can do? any advice.
Is it worth a restart, saving those corals.
