Hey everyone,
I’ve been having an awful time with algae basically growing everywhere and, I’m not 100% sure, but it appears to be killing my corals. There also appears to be some red slime algae as well. I’ve been doing water changes and running Chemipure Blue
The corals seemed to great until the algae breakout but now my Superman monti, candy cane, and red acro are expelling their zooxanthellae. My other corals seem to be unbothered. Also, for what it’s worth I feed mostly with LRS fish frenzy which shouldn’t be dumping too much nutrients into the tank
I use the Zaxby preset on my hydras and my water specs are as follows:
10ppm nitrate
.02 phospate
0 ammonia and Nitrite
Calcium at 450
Magnesium 1300
Alkalinity 8.75
here are some pics. Any suggestions would be appreciated because I really don’t want to have to nuke the tank to get rid of it.
