Well I have missed a lot on this thread, how is the algae battle going?
I’m making slow and steady progress but the turf algae on the rock didn’t really change. I’m taking the time to let the tank re settle while trying to minimize causalities

How's the tank doing? Curious how you were running the MP10 when you just had a single one in the tank? Mode and speed? Thanks

That tank is still a work in progress. Im having water quality issues that im trying to pinpoint. When I had one MP10 it was on the left wall on the upper part of the tank. I ran it at 45% and ran every program but the steady one at some point

Here is my latest ICP test result. These are the parameters that were flagged. I was pretty surprised by these results

Quick Monday night update. I changed both RO membranes as well as filters in all 6 stages. I did a 10 gallon water change and my corals install responded. I have a feeling that my carbon blocks were shot as well as my membrane. I am still fighting a uphill with nutrients but that is also headed in the right direction.

I’m showing little specs of coralline starting to form on the back wall and bottom of the tank. I am also dosing 2 ML of NOPOX a day and microbacter7. I’ve been dosing for about 2 weeks and the algae is starting to turn grey and die off. My suspicion is my rock is leetching junk into the water (it was dry rock used in a tank years ago)
