6 month old tank, I figured it's just at the ugly stage. However now I'm having doubts and finally decided to ask for help.
65g tank
Tests are stable
1.025
PH:8.0
Nitate: 9-10
Alk 8.0
Po4 0 - always reads 0.0
Cal 380
Can't test mag. No kit yet
Weekly water changes - rodi / fritz salt
Socks/skimmer
UV runs 8 hr/day
Dosing kalk in the ATO.
Have about 18 snails, 6 hermits. Added pods.
2 fish - fairy wrasse + yellow watchmen
I know about the bubble algae, not sure on the rest.
Algae coats the entire glass around 5 days.
It's on sand, rocks, and clogging the corals. Seems to be more prevalent in areas with higher flow. Softies are keeping it off them, sps/LPs are getting clogged up and dying.
Have a fish mortality rate of over 70%. All fish were on a 3-4 hr drip of roughly 60% volume.
I'm not adding any livestock until I figure this out and get it under control.
No CUC have died.
