Hello. I’m trying to figure out if this is cyano or something else. I’ve used chemi clean and it works but within 2 weeks I’m back to square one. I’ve been doing about 8 gallon water changes weekly on my 20g AIO. Nothing seems to help it just keeps coming back week after week. Can someone help.
Details:
20g AIO established for about 3 years
8 gallon weekly water changes
Make my own RODI and have been for years 0 TDS
Filtration:
Filter floss
Skimmer
Bio Pellet Reactor
Bio matrix bag
Chemi Pure
Livestock:
2 clown fish
7 rock flowers
3 acan mini colonies
A couple zoa frags
About a dozen BTA (trying to get rid of them)
Parameters:
Ph - 8.0
SG 1.026 with ATO
Nitrate ~ 10ppm (can never seem to lower it but everything has been thriving for a couple years)
Calcium ~ 440
Mag ~ 1250
Phosphate not reading on salifer test but might be due to algae or whatever keeps growing in my tank. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. The only thing I haven’t tried is adding some live bacteria. Someone mentioned my tank might be going through a “mini cycle”. I haven’t had that issue in my 175 that’s been up and running for 5 years.
