Hello everyone recently my tank went through a crash and I finally “restarted” it. But not a full restart the finish are still living and everything just my corals got wiped out by Dino’s when I was on vacation. For the past couple of months I had problems with my nutrients being too high. (I will attach parameters of yesterday before a water change and after.) I usually had kept the lights off because of cyano and gha but now I am starting to fix everything someone had told me to give a little light so that the fish have something. There’s always been indirect sunlight in the room so it’s been fairly lit up, but still.
I was wondering if someone could help me identify which of these settings on my lights are best, and what will limit the growth of algae, as I am getting everything under control.
07/25/23: 50.3
PH: 8.2
Ammonia: 0.25ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
Nitrate: 40 ppm
Phosphate: .50 ppm possibly
No skimmer active and loss of flow
I was planning on running my lights like this from 10-4. But wasn’t sure if I should do more or better. Let me know please, thank you!
I will add the other parameters after the water change after I test
