Then I added nitrate and phosphate to grow algae and get rid of the diano. It worked! With some water changes, the numbers started looking better with the exception of the phosphate which, until recently was really high. My most recent check last Monday was as follows.
SG 1.025
Temp 78
Nitrate 5
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0
PO4 0.03
Ca 400
Mg 1400
Alk 7.8
Ph 8.2
I had some orange bam bam zoas that we’re taking off and doing very well. Within the past two weeks they have been smothered with hair algae. I did a 25% water change yesterday and one last week. Any ideas what the problem may be? The montis seem to be doing well and the mystic has actually spread more in the past couple months than it has since it was introduced in February.
I’m lost...
I also have an ATS that is growing lots of algae. The screen is pretty much full and needs cleaned within two weeks. I also have a pretty healthy stock of clean up crew in the tank 4 turbos and multiple snails of other types as well as a kloe tang who is always picking at the rocks.
Here are some pics of the corals. So far the only corals that seem to be suffering are the orange zoas. There was a small area of algae on the mystic monti that seems to have gotten better now.
Any help would be appreciated.
