Hi everyone,
I have battled a few types of algae during the start of the system, cyano, dino, green hair and now it seems to be brown slime algae.
I also have report from an older ICP test done 1 month ago which some parameters have changed, waiting for new results to come back soon.
1. Gross water volume of your complete system (incl. sump etc.) - US gallons / UK gallons / liter
240 gallons
2. Net water volume (incl. sump etc.) - US gallons / UK gallons / liter
200-220 gallons
3. Are you using a CaCO2 reactor or other technique
Two part dosing only, alk and calcium.
4. Are you using a PO4 reactor (how long, how long ago, etc.)
No
5. Are you using Ozone
No
6. Are you using UV
No
7. What skimmer are you using (type, rated water volume)
Bubble King Mini 180 VS12 Skimmer rated 200g heavy bioload
8. What are your actual PO4 and NO3 levels
PO4: 0.03 NO3: 10
9. What are your actual Ca, Alk and Mg levels
Ca: 420 Alk: 8 Mg: 1350, K: 380-400
10. What filtration method do you use (refugium, DSB, Miracle Mud, etc.)
None, except for zeovit regimen
11. Type of light (Watt, color temp, how old, etc.)
LEDS approximately 14k-20k
12. What corals do you keep
SPS and few lps
13. Tissue color (light or dark)
Darker than before
14. How long has the tank been running
6 months
15. Why do you want to use the ZEOvit system
Nice sps colors and controlling nutrients
16. Any supplemental dosing (type, amount, why, etc.)
No
17. Live rock (how much, how old, etc.)
200lbs some few years old and some newer
18. Any present problems
Brown slime algae
19. Problem description (tissue loss tips, tissue loss base, diatom bloom, algae, etc.)
Algae bloom, seems to have a few burned tips on sps
20. What test kit do you use (how old, recently switched, etc.)
Salifert and trident from neptune apex
21. Present dosing, amounts and intervals (ZEOvit, ZEObak, ZEOfood, ZEOstart, ZEOspur2, etc.)
Zeobak, twice a week 8 drops each time
Sponge power, twice a week 8 drops each time
Biomate, twice a week 8 drops each time
K-Balance, every other day
A Balance, once every 10 days 8ml
Coral snow, once a week
22. Other water parameters and water stability (salinity, temp, etc.)
Salinity 35
Temperature 25.5C
Ph: 8-8.3
23. Which salt brand do you use
Fauna Marin
