Brown stringy algae causing tank crash
So the last few weeks have been hell watching my tan decline as I try to find a solution to this problem. I'm not sure if these algae are Diatoms, Cyano, or Dinoflagellates as they differ from dark brown to dark red. My parameters go as follows.
pH- 8.4 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 5ppm Phosphate- Unknown as I'm using a shitty API test kit. But I am running a GFO reactor. Alk 7-8 DKH Calc 440ppm Tank is 6 months old Always use RO/DI This nuisance started popping up right after I deep cleaned my sump and added new macro. I also changed from 24 hr refugium lighting to reverse photo period as I'm now using chaetomorpha. If anyone could think of a cause and solution to this problem it could really save my tank. |
Can u post a picture so people can see what u have. It really depends what it is to know what the best treatments are because it will be different between all 3.
I wouldn't think its diatoms so hopefully for your sake it's cyno & not Dino. |
