Our tank has been green for about 2 weeks now. All water parameters are very good:
ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 0
PH - 8.1
Salinity 1.024
Phosphates - undetectable
Silicates - undetectable
Temp: 77-78
These are some things we have recently done to try to fix our problem:
We have added an additional 40 pounds of liverock from liverocks.com to bring our total LR to 75 pounds. We have replaced the gravel in our canister filter with live rock rubble. We are running a carbon bag in the canister filter. We pulled off our recently added Aqua C Remora Pre-Skimmer incase that was the problem. We have done a 20% water change. (We dont use tap water, we mix our own with distilled and test it thoroughly prior to adding). The water we took our was very green but you can even tell we did anything, the tank still looks green. We were told to reduce our lights to 5 hours a day by the LFS. We did that for a week and no change. Now back to our normal 10 hours a day. The tank does not get any natural sunlight.
All livestock seem fine and we feed once daily. We feed brine one day and mysis the next, back and forth.
I know some of you have offered suggestions in another thread but I belive I've done them all and nothing is improving this issue.
We need more ideas, please!
TIA
