Hey! I am needing help/advice in raising nutrients in my tank.
I got an established 65g tank & 15g sump off marketplace a few weeks ago. It came with clowns and some different mushroom corals. When I set it up, only took about 5 days to cycle again. My corals are growing, I actually have a lot of new growth from them despite having low nutrients. I also have new coralline algea growth. I've only done one 15% water change in hopes to raise calcium and magnesium levels. Added eco pods and feed them phytoplankton every day to help with the ugly stage. Ugly brown detrius went away but now I'm left with green hair algea, the algea isn't spreading but what is there has been growing. Any advice?? I feed my clowns 2-3× a day
Thank you! ❤️
Week 5 and 6! I have definitely learned a lot the last 2 weeks with the help of some amazing experts in the field. They were hard to find as not a lot of people that are sellers take marine husbandry serious. My parameters were stalling and the advice to add more of the RIGHT bio media and some more bacteria saw my nitrites drop within 24 hours finishing my cycle. Some more water changes to come before fish but my first corals are in deviating from the original two planned to allow some learning. Mushrooms allowed me to learn corals opening and closing, rocks and frag plugs and what glue works and doesn’t; which corals can be glued to frags and which can’t and a whole lot of trial and error before getting things right.
