What i should do?

[Notsolostfish]

My nitrate is 0.1 my phosphate is 0. Alk is 7.7. Im testing with hanna checkers. My tank is over a month old. 2 clowns, 1 blenny. And 1 royal gamma. I have my nyos skimmer 120 running. My system is 53 gallons with the sump 37 gallon display. I feed my fish once a day frozen food a lot of it. And i truly cant get my nutrients up someone help me. My candy cane does not look good. I have a hammer, duncan, mushroom, and scoly, and a frogspawn. How do i dose here? Do i turn my skimmer off for a month? Do i keep it running and dose and if so what do i do?

 

[Spare time]

Dose reef energy or fuel. Have the skimmer on only at night. Feed the fish twice a day minemum.

Can i turn off my skimmer temporary for now? Like for a month or two?

 

[Jekyl]

Allow the skimmer to drain back in rather than collecting.

Yeah you can as long as the tank has good aeration.

How do i keep skimmer on without let it. Collect for oxygen

 

[Lbrdsoxfan]

Keep skimmer running, remove the cup.

You can dial it so that the bubbles don't spill into a collection cup.

Like have the bubbles way below the neck? But wouldnt that collect junk inside the body?

That would help? How that would help? Sorry im new just asking

This would raise both nitrate and phosphate

Instant Plankton

Planktonic microfeed for corals, filter feeders, and delicate fish! Through a specialized process, each particle has a raspberry-like shape that makes it easy for corals to consume Nyos Instant Plankton. The highly developed microfeed has a particulate size of 5-20 microns making it the perfect...

It should still be in the water so I'd imagine it would still break down

My collection cup has a drain plug in the bottom. That or can remove collection cup completely as mentioned.

 

[Jekyl]

Do 1 change at a time. Rule for your entire time reefing. Pick one method, wait 2 weeks to see effects.

That should work. Reef roids also should work. Any coral food that contains phospholipids and aminos (or just protein) will raise both.

But that would give me a hard time cleaning the inside.

Hey Welcome to to reefing. There is nothing to worry about. Your tank is just a month old. Mine is 3 months old now and I’m doing just like you. Be patient, it’ll all come in place. In this hobby you have to be patient and you’re gonna love it. Happy reefing.
