ggnzlz · May 29, 2024

So long story short im not sure if dinos or lyngbya. Was testing params last night and noticed it starting to look like brown hair algea and not just what dinos look regularly. Also I noticed my p04 bottoms out on a daily. Its been about a week since the algea, I have 10k pods coming in tomorrow from algea barn and Hanna phosphate ulr on friday. Nothing has changed other than I got stronger lights like two weeks ago. Whites have been turned off since last night.

Dkh .11.5. Hanna
Cal. 450. Salifert
Mag. 1350. Salifert
Nitrate. 25-35. Hanna
Phos. .25-.5. Salifert
Ph. 8.1-8.4. Hanna

After algea
Dkh. 11.5
Cal 450
Mag.1350
Nitrate. 20-25
Phos. 0.00-0.03

Turbo snails are good with algae.

Got two turbos two astrea two nasarius ( not sure how to spell it) 4 hermits 2 blue legs and two black and orange ones and one lawnmower blenny this algea isn't really strong in my display but in my sump it is but im not sure if its algea im looking for suggestions on what should I do. I saw a video of what lyngbya looks like and I have seen like pinhead size cyano that I clean up immediately. Im worried about. The corals and nutrients for them the tank is a red sea 130 (34gal) and its four months old I just did the math.
