I have had this tank about 6 months and so far so good but all of a sudden my nitrates went from 20 to like 60 and algae started growing all over the place. All other measurements are where they should be. The only change I made was where I was getting my water from and he said he checks the premixed water every couple of days and has had no other complaints, this store is about 20 min closer to my house is the reason for the change.
Second thing is I really haven't had the corraline algae expanding much. Should I be supplementing with purple up or calcium?
Third issue is my Foxface, in the store he was very active always swiming and he is like that now when no one is around but if anyone even walks by the tank he hides.
Fourth issue, my two clown fish will sometimes hang out together but the are usually on opposite sides of the tank near the surface, doesn't seem normal to me. Any ideas?
Thanks for any advice.
