Okay guys i need some help.
i have algea growing everywhere.
my tank is 2month old.
it has:
very high calcium 460-480...
very high magnesium over 1400
DKH is at 7
i been doing research and some say high magnesium and low DKH cause all kinds of algea blooms...
some say say phosphate is the problem. and even if its undetectable (api test kit) its still a possibility.
and some even say too much lights is the problem.
i use RO/DI water.
my salt is: (Kent marine *REEF SALT MIX) is is very high in mag/cal.
have no corals yet and only have 1clown and a cleaner shrimp.
my aquarium is 46gal + a 29gal sump (which holds around 20gal of water)
have a 200gal reef octopus skimmer.
1 radion led light fixtur.
mp10 pump.
live rock, sand.
my nitrates are always 0
where would you start if you had my problem?
and please give details.
