Gha?

[RudeDawg]

Hello,
Is this gha? Nitrates and phosphates are undetectable. I feed polyp booster followed by reef roids 2x a week (literally a pinch), phyto (4 drops) a day, and frozen mysis for wheeler's goby and flaming prawn goby once a day. Though, I haven't seen my prawn goby in a while and my wheeler's goby jumped out today. Found him dried up on the floor when I got home from work so feedings of frozen will stop till I can confirm flaming prawn goby is alive.

Feed more. Reef roids raise phosphates. I always prefer a natural way for raising them but you could use a product like NeoPhos or NeoNitrate

So is that GHA?

This is film algae and diatoms and may be in part from excessive light.
Is this tank by chance at or near a window?
Are you using RODI water or tap water from the faucet ?
DO NOT feed more as light and inorganics contribute to this and Feeding more will feed the algae also

Not near a window, and I am using rodi water. I do feed a lot relative to the size of the tank, I believe. I have a reefled50 running at 80% blue, 10% white, hanging about 7inches from top of tank. Is that a bit excessive? I haven't noticed any ill effect on the corals, except for the Monti cap. It's starting to lose color and polyps aren't extending.

Have your Phosphate checked which may be affecting coral and encouraging the algae. You can try 5% white for 3 days and see if it has diminished and also next water change, blow the stuff off flow pump with turkey baster.

Thank you. I'll try that.

P04 is undetectable with salifert kit.
