So I have confirmed I have LCA Dino’s. On top of bryopsis and hair algae that I’ve been dealing with for a while now. I do weekly water changes but it’s just not getting any better. Obviously something is off but my parameters are not showing it.
salinity
ammonia 0
Nitrates 7
Nitrites 0
Phosphates .03
Alkalinity reads 8.2 on Hanna checker but 6.4 on apex.
temp steady at 78-78.5k with controller and Hanna salinity checker
To top it off I have ich in my tank as well. I’ve pulled 3 of my fish but I need to get the rest out to go fallow. I have no idea what I need to be doing. Or what order I need to do them in so I don’t completely crash my tank. I have water glass on the way that was recommended to create a diatom bloom to outcompete the Dino’s as well as dosing phyto and pods. Am I ok to still pull my fish or should I wait it out? I pulled my tangs and foxface which were the only ones showing ich.
I have an ICP test I’m sending out just to verify my parameters.
