Foggy water

[Braunreffer]

Hi reefers,

My tank is 3 months old, I make water changes every weekend of 10%

My eater has 3 days geting milky during day period, and clears out at night.

Many diatom algae is appearing but i cycled before with all blooms already popped out.

I noticed my salinity is high because a mistake calibrating the refractometer

Here are my parameters:
Salt: 1.028
Alk: low 8
Ph: 8.4
Cal: 440
Ammonia: 0
Nitrites:0
Nitrates:5
Phosphates: .08

I dnt know if is silicates or bacterial bloom or whats happening, any idea?

I’m going to guess some kind of algael bloom with it only happening when lights are on. I’m literally just guessing though..

Ia what i think, as i have to clean 2 times a day the glass, but i think is too much.

Al corals are open and thriving

Do you dose phytoplankton for coral food? Or any other kind of plankton?
