Is my tank too clean

[bjc451]

I had started to type a whole big explaination and my phone died. Anyway 2 different times. Hanna ulr is at zero. Nitrates as close to 0 as I can read api. Today is day 61. I have new tank uglies.

Your tank is still new....will take some time before numbers balance and level out. I assume you don't have any coral yet so the 0 phosphates and nitrates aren't a big deal.

I have one hammer coral

Phosphates were zero ulr two weeks in a row

It sounds like it could be the beginning of dinoflagellates, I would feed more and try add some detectable no3 and po4

What are the other parameters? Ammonia, Nitrite, etc?

 

[bjc451]

Both zero have been since day 23 well nitrites

If you have uglies you might have some nitrate or phosphate that's being consumed by those uglies.
What sort of uglies are we talking about?
I agree that you will need to increase the N and P. If you have some pellets or flakes that should work.

Just the brown hair algae like brown fuzz blowing in the MPs
