Worth a shot! Blue usually helps

@billy 238d

I’ve not heard of that working. I did have success beating Dino’s by adding a ton of copepods to my system and dosing phyto daily to keep them reproducing

@MaizeandBlue 238d

They come back once the lights are on, so if the white lights don’t come on maybe the copepods I added can go to work. I gonna try it for a day or two to see what happens. Heck the corals like blue light so hey why not.

@PicoReeferSF 238d

I was just having the same problem and even went far as turning the radion to solely blues, it still came back so went back to AB+ spectrum lol currently upping cuc crew and I’m hearing it should clear on its own potentially but idk yet. I also might add more copepods like others suggested

@MaizeandBlue 238d

Yes I changed my lights from AB+ to radiant colors. Gonna leave it for a day or two. Corals like blue anyway. If I see no change it’ll be back to AB+. Gonna go buy some phytoplankton tomorrow I’ve already dosed copepods. My phos is .1 and my nitrate is 16.4 so I’m a little bit off of Redfield’s ratio.

Nice sounds like you have a plan! I love the look of ab+ personally so I’m willing to battle to keep it there at this point. My nitrates were last checked at around 7ppm and phos around .03. Not sure what’s the ratio but maybe because we don’t have extremely mature tanks yet that there’s still some of these swings/outbreaks. I hear things should get better with time but idk I’m just a first time reefer hahahh

Redfields ratio is 10/1 so a .1 phosphate would be equal to 10 nitrate.
