My tank has been up and running for about a month. The rock has been fully cycled for almost 3 months.
I’m currently in an ugly phase. My phosphate is 0.05 and my nitrates have been between 5 and 10. I have a mix of macro algae and coral. What I’m wondering is, is there anything I need to change, or should I let the ugly phase run it’s course?
I have nassarius, astrea, and Cerith snails to help. My AI Nero 3 is set to around 1200 GPH and hits almost all of the tank. I don’t have a protein skimmer. And lastly, I feed once per day.
