To keep it short. My tank is 6 months old. Its the marine x60.2 i rushed, and i got bunch of corals after the cycle, hammers, frogspawn, zoas, candy cane, mushroom, and duncan. Now after 2 months of the tank running. My nutrients bottomed out. Both 0, Nitrate + phosphate.
So i started dosing neophos & neonitro. But unfortunately i didnt do it at the time
So i got the toxic dinos, and cyano, red + slimey green. And i have GHA everywhere. And its getting worse to a level where i want to quit the hobby or sell my tank, and start fresh.
I noticed its a trend everytime dinos vanish for a while, my zoas and corals are the happiest. But when it comes back on the sand. My zoas close up all of them, + my corals gets super ticked off. Im guessing because the dinos are in the water column.
I didnt try any chemicals yet, my friend said keep dosing neophos to get my phosphate to 0.1 i dont know what that does.
Mag:1315
Calcium:415
Salinity:1.026
ALK:8.1
Temp: 77F
Nitrate:6.8-7 (hanna checker)
Phosphate as of this morning 0.04
