Sarcothelia said:I'm sure there was some die off from the rocks, would caused a mini cycle along with the diatoms in response to the change in water quality.
Just tested both the filtered water And tap. They both contain nitrates, so possibly both will bring diatoms in. Guess nitrates dont effect my clowns and wrasse, as they have been living in it and my cleaner shrimp couldnt handle it and died after 1 night. Guess i better invest in a ro di before i buy more fish
hackteck said:also you might have a hair algae problem down the road if you continue to use tap water it could have alot of phosphates in it
hackteck said:Yup can make this hobby a pain overnight
hackteck said:Scrub it off but if you keep adding tap water it will come back possibly I run a phosban reactor with phosphate media and use ro di water to keep my phosphates at 0
