Started with a baseball size of chaeto. Quickly turned into atleast 2 basketballs in a 30gallon sump.
Initial readings. Nitrates plummeted to 0.
Phosphates a constant 1.0
Mag 1500
Alk swings like crazy 7.0 to 8.4 dosing regularly
Calc always around 480.
Temp 77.0
Hair algae Aldo thriving in sump.
Noticed tissue recession on a few corals. And acro bleaching. Trimmed chaeto. Started dosing liquid nitrate. Color came back on across first within 24hrs. Hammers are still mad. Trimmed chaeto again today. Added a tuxedo urchin to dump for hair algae. Anything else I can do to help these hammers out??
