Hi, so I’ve had a couple of posts about similar things before, like a white algae looking thing in my tank, and my nitrates being high. However that was a couple of weeks ago and nothing had really changed. For background, I have a 20g AIO with three fish, no light, or CUC. My tank has been set up this way for a couple of months, and I do a 10% weekly water change. I tested for nitrates and they were quite high, above 50ppm. My pH is a bit low, it’s currently at 7.8-8.0. Everything else is within normal ranges. My only thought to these high nitrates would be my feeding. I didn’t really think of my feeding as a problem until I was feeding my fish one night. I only feed the fish once a day with frozen mysis shrimp. I use an entire of those frozen cubes, and I thought that there was no way my fish eat all of this, so I decided to cut one of the little cubes in half and feed one of those each day (I made that change yesterday).
This is also the algae(?) I was talking about, it doesn’t show up the best on camera but it’s looks similar to algae just with no pigment, and it’s on a lot of my rock work, and some of my glass.
Sorry for the long post, but if you have any idea how to help, or any suggestions, I would be very grateful
