Hi all,
Been having issues with my new tank.
will provide all the info I have bellow.
450L tank
Roughly 4 months old.
rodi unit with multiple DI stages, all cartridges are 4 months old and 2 meters both read 0 tds.
Been experiencing this covering for the last 2 months. Haven’t done anything drastic as I thought it was diatoms so just left it.
but it’s close to if not more then 8 weeks now with no sign of it going.
it’s a liglhty stocked tank for now so much so I had to go out my way to increase nitrates and phosphates for fear of cyano breaking out.
Running a filler roller and slimmer with some carbon only.
latest results
nitrates 11
phosphates 0.15
kh 7
calcium 480
Silicates 0.15
tank was started with dry rock, live sand.
many help would be amazing.
what Would I need for a definite id - basic microscope ?
changed the lights to 1400K to take the photos.
normally run them at 40% as I have one unhappy torch and 1 leather only
thank you all
