A little help!!!
Hi guys well for past week and a half i've been having an algae problem its a brown green diatom looking algae on the glass and the sand all my parameters are in check let me put them:
Temp 79-80 F
Alk 7.2 dkh
CA 445 ppm
MG 1350 ppm
Ammonia 0.0 ppm
Nitrite 0.0 ppm
Nitrate 0.0 ppm
PH 8.2
Phosphate 0.0 ppm No Hanna,only salifert,Hagen,Seachem i have all 3 phosphate test kits all came out 0.0ppm
I have been dosing start2 1 drop daily and bak/food 2xs per week 1 drop each but for about 4 days i stopped the use of start2 to see if i have an overdose of start2 but to no avail the algae is still there(very light brown to green color) i also stopped the use of AAHC about 2 weeks ago my fish load is as follows 1 yellow tang about 2 1/2",3 blue reef chromis 1 1/2",2 royal gramma 2" and a six line wrasse 1" i feed them only one time per day and they eat everything they dont leave anything to decompose also i have 9 turbos snails and a red serpent star i do a 5% water change every week what could be wrong should i stop the use of start2 until the algae is gone also the fishes have been in my tank for about 2 months now i guess it was the zeo rock change maybe the tank is cycling again really i've tried everything in my power.Net water volume of my tank is 35 US gallons including sump and live rock.All of the corals are ok its the algae that bothers me.
Thanks as always
