Hey all,
So my 120g tank has been up and running for 6 months now and over the past few days started to see this algae and suctioned it out but now it’s getting completely out of control.
Water parameters:
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 35-40 (Ik high)
Phosphate .08-.1
Alk 8.2
Lighting: Reef breeders photon v2 with 8 hour peak lighting schedule.
What type of Algae is this, and how do I go about controlling it? Been doing weekly 20% water changes to try and drop nitrates not working gonna have to do a bigger water change.
