Phew, he seems ok now. Still not seen my Royal Gramma, but fingers crossed she will come out of hiding soon

After bonding my live rock with Aqua medic reef construct putty it clouded the whole of my tank. I've done a 50% PWC & changed carbon in filter, but 1 of my clowns is looking very sick on the bottom of my tank. Any ideas how to revive the little fella?

I have 2 power heads. 1 either side of the tank & the return from the filter. Here's a pic of the setup

Forgot to say I've been using R/O water & have been putting Rowaphos in my canister filter to try & reduce phosphate. Not got a phosphate test kit as yet though. Makes sense that the algae feeding on the nitrate is giving a false reading

Hmm, that doesn't sound too good. Done a PWC today. I will try scraping some more of it off. I have a UV steriliser that I haven't installed. Do you think that would help? All my parameters seem stable. I do 15% PWC every other week & nitrate never gets past 0- 5ppm. I will get some more rock...

Ok. Think I will get a few & see if they help. Thanks for your help

Parameters are all good. Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0 & nitrate 0. Using API test kit

Help... I'm having a constant battle with algae on my rock & sand. The sand gets covered in brown/green algae & the rocks are covered in red & brown algae, which traps the bubbles released from my skimmer! Is this normal? Would a more efficient CUC help? Only got 4 snails & 1 crab at the moment...
