Hi all,
After a long battle with GHA, the finale came with the removal and scrub down of 200+ pounds of live rock followed by a 50% h20 change and 5 days of no light and treating with h2O2 and Microbacter 7 then a slow ramp up of the lights over the last 3 weeks.
Now, it has been 3 weeks since the drama and last water change. My Nitrates and phos have gone from 1 and 0.03 to 10 and .35. My ph is 8.25, salinity is 1.026, ca is 464 alk is 9.18 and I haven’t tested the mag but since I lost nearly all my corals Im sure its fine.
With the large increase in phos and Nitrates- how should I proceed to avoid being thrown right back into gha hell?
Right now my skimmer and uv is only on 12 hours a day as I dose phyto at night
I just got a ball of chaeto to add to the fuge
No additives etc at this point
Should I do a water change? I was on biweekly before.
