I figure I’m hitting my ugly phase with my 125. I have two clownfish and a juvie sailfin tang - I just did a 10% water change.
Am I dealing with Dino’s or diatoms. On my rock there are some algae with bubbles on the top. I’m dosing with bacteria. I have my skimmer on. Lights for 6 hours a day. No coral yet. Only two hermit crabs.
Should I continue feeding every 12 hours or once a day. Should I add more fish? I took my water to my lfs and was informed there’s still some phosphates and nitrites and was told ‘wait 6 days before adding a fish or CUC’
the bloom wasn’t there two days ago. Now covers everything. Advice? Trying to not bomb the tank but also want to add/supply a CUC. Skimmer isn’t even producing skimmate.
