Hi all!
I need some help with getting rid of this stuff! Started with just green. Now I have both green and red. It blows off easy and I have been doing that several times a week. I usually think of Christmas cheer when I see green and red, this is far from it!
90 gallon with 25 gallon sump with chaeto on opposite lighting schedule. Reef octopus skimmer 150int. Octo pulse 4 (2) opposite sides with Hydros running random flow at 77-88%. Octo pulse 2 on back wall random flow. Lighting is kessil AP9x (2). Total time 12 hrs. On at 8 am ramp up to 50% intensity at noon. 1-3pm is 60%, then back to 50% til 4pm, ramp down to 8pm off. Color doesn’t go above 28 (blues), violet matches blues. I do have the moon cycle on as well.
Here are parameters for last 3 weeks: I’ve been away off and on, so not feeding as much.
4/30. 5/12. 5/17
Ph 8.03 8.08 8.06
Calc. 462 511 520
Alk. 8.6 8.2 8.6
Nitrate. 6.5 2.9 4.6
Phosphate .13 .07 .09
Sg. 1.026 1.026 1.026
Mg. 1510 1505 1580
Temp. 76.4 76.4 76.4
Prior to this, nitrate was between 10.6-14.7.
Phosphate was between .04-.19
I put (2) 100ml Seachem Phosguard in sump before I went away to try to keep phosphate from climbing with auto feeder on.
I auto dose ESV Bionic Alk, Calc and Mag, about 13ml/day. I run Chemi pure elite.
There are 4 fish and cuc.
Sorry if too much information, just trying to get as much as I can to you.
About to do a 15 gallon water change with Red Sea (blue bucket). Was holding off a day or so in case chemical introduction was recommended.
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks for your time!
