New system has been set up for one month now and everyone seems to be settling in Po4 reading low at 0.018 and nitrate sitting at 1.13ppm. Despite thus there's a few spots of hair algae managing to hang in there
How can I lower phosphates without lowering nitrates too low? Nitrates are 13.4 and phosphates are 0.4. It could be worse realistically but would like to lower it. Not looking to use GFO
I dont think these guys are happy. My alk admittedly swings from 7.7-8.3 every couple of days. I do weekly water changes(5gal in a 18x18) I dose .75ml Seachem Fusion 2 every 2 days. My salinity is 1.025. Nitrate is right around 5 but phosphate gets a little high 0.20. I dont have a bio bioload but I run a skimmer. Ammonia and nitrite 0.
Anybody have an idea on why this algae keeps popping up in my tank? It fills up quick on the bottom left corner with some patches scattered throughout the tank, I was thinking of using phosguard because I suspected it could be silicates but that doesn't feed this type of algae and I don't have diatoms, I also don't want to lower my phosphate since it's already at a good level
Dealing with Cyano, getting better overtime slowly after putting in chemi clean elite, dropping phosphate slowly
Dinos defeated, dosing nitrate and phosphate changed filter floss to very fluffy balks to catch it. I’m extremely happy today. Fish in a month.
How do you deal with cyano?
Can someone help me or help me create a day by day schedule to help my tank im dosing neophos and prime but my reading are
Salinity 1.024
Alkalinity 15.3
PH 7.4
Phosphate 0
Nitrate 50-100
Nitrite 0.1
Ammonia 0.25
It’s only a 52L tank. I have a frogspawn(closed few days) everything else is fine 2 clownfish urchin torch and mushroom
My frogspawn corals have stopped opening up for some reason any thoughts ?
Alk 9.5
Cal 493
Mag1496
Ph 8.2-8.37
Salt 34.5
No3 7.3
PO4 0.09
Par reading in area in 80-85
Anyone know what type of algae this is? Seems to only pop up in the front of my tank
Tank is almost 2yrs old
Phos : 0.06
Nitrate: 15ppm
Just a tank update. No3 down to 20, PO4 down to .6
Time to tak on thoes high nitrates and phosphates.
Haven't been doing my weekly WC and it shows.
No3 at 40, PO4 at .9 YIKES
Gonna try this Nyos Zeo for the first time.
