The blenny is a good cleaner! Won't help fight your phosphates, phos sorb will, kalkwasser will help the most, just check your KH before. What is your phosphate at?

Phosphate was .25 last time I checked, i'm in the process of getting some phosphate media and some carbon. In the mean time I've just been cleaning and siphoning as much as possible

You may be putting to much food in? Don't get me wrong by me saying your over feeding, feed so many times a day with less food. Fish need to eat 2-3 times a day, little amounts work out the best for your fish and water quality

 

[ivan_dalmatia]

So same amount of food just divide it into 3 meals

Gotcha, i'm going to start doing that, I've just been feeding once a day. Also, something that didn't help matters much, I had a snail die and it was in the tank for about a week or so

Gotto test your water weekly!

 

[XxshaggyxX]

Oh yeah I usually test the water after my water change but I just recently purchased reef master test kit, up until that point I didn't have a phosphate test

Do the test. WC won't help if u don't know what's wrong?
Test you specific gravity every week!!!

 

[XxshaggyxX]

Yup, I test SG, nitrates, and phosphates and always looking and checking things like temperature and making sure my skimmer is still doing good

In your last post you said you didn't do phosphate test I'm lost?

 

[XxshaggyxX]

Oh ok, what I meant was I have only started testing phosphates here recently because I never had any way to test for phosphates, I recently purchased a test kit that has a phosphate test in it, sorry about that lol
