hey everyone. I’m still battling the new tank uglies. This one has me stumped.
my nitrate and phosphate levels are super low. Almost undetectable for both. Only had two small clowns and a few soft corals so feeding was very light. I discontinued the use of gfo and carbon for now till I figure it out. I know Dino can grow from low levels of nitrate and phosphate. Can this be my issue? Also it’s really only growing on the top of my rock towards the top half of the tank. And on the glass where the power heads are hitting. My led is only 6” off the water and I’m running it at only 5% hoping that would help. Any input would be appreciated.
