Hello all,
I'm in need of some help. I moved my 15gal to a 75gal last Aug. Tank was looking amazing until dinos showed up and took over in January. Since mid January I have only done 1 water change in an effort to fight the dinos. Between no water changes and Dr Tims Waste Away I have fought the dinos back. At this point I have I only see bits of dinos in the top 1"-2" of my tank just below the waterline. Now I have a giant outbreak of GHA I clean and it grows back wildly but since there isnt dinos matted in the GHA my tang has been going to work but only handles about 50% of it. I have turned my fuge light back on and its growing some in the fuge and has slowed in the display. I want to get back on my water change schedule but since I still see the little bits of dinos so I dont know if its time yet. This is what my plan is and I would like some input.
1. Remove as much GHA as possible
2. Resume water changes. Start with 20%WC then in 2 days 10% WC then in another 2 days another 10%WC finally continue weekly 10% WC
3. Boost pod population (I think my pod pop was decimated by the dinos)
4. Add an urchin to my sump to consume the GHA as part of the CUC
5. I was also planning on adding a Lawnmower Blenny or Starry Blenny.
Any input is much appreciated I have lost 2 corals in this fight with the dinos and im looking to get everything back inline. I do dose Kalk so for the most part main parameters are where they should be but I am getting salinity swings because the algae is plugging up my overflow because its growing link crazy.
Thanks
