Hey everyone,
I am battling an algae outbreak and could really get your help with identifying and battling it. I attached multiple pictures for you guys. I myself am thinking that these are red slime algae and hair algae taking over. It however could also be dinoflagellates. I hope you can help me identyfing it and would love your opinion about how you all battle this problem.
Next to the pictures I also attached my feeding/dosing schedule and below you can see the water parameters. It would also be of great help if you guys can help me where I can reduce my feeding. I do a weekly 30% water change.
I have a 40 gallon red sea max e led 170, without any additions, except for one blue marine wavemaker 4000. My water parameters are:
NO3: 0 ng/L
NO2: 0,10 mg/L
PO4: 0.03 mg/L
NH4: 0.10 mg/L
pH: 8.3
salinity: 1.022
