Hey everyone...looking for a bit of advice.
I've had my tank going for just over 3 months now. My problem is the algae that I can't seem to get under control.
As of last night my water parameters were great.
PH=8.3
Nitrite=0
Nitrate=0
Ammonia=0
Temp=80
SG=1.023
I did a 20% water change on Tuesday and with all my changes/top offs I only use R/O water.
My fish have been out of the tank for about 3 weeks now because of a bout of ick. The only feeding is very minimal supplements to my corals every few days.
I just can't get a handle on what could be causing the problems. Main aglae is green/green hair aglae the grows everywhere(rocks, glass, sandbed) some red stringy type algae..and some cyano that grows in just one small patch.
I haven't tested for Phosphate(don't know where it could come from), but did add Phos-X to my HOB filter to see if there were any changes(none so far)
Any help or advice will be so great appreciated!
