Well it's official, I started my 120 gallon algae grow out tank today. I removed all the corals from the display to battle this issue. My frag tank...
Should I also remove the GFO and watch the phosphates go up or keep it in there until everything is under control? I did start dosing ZEOstart3 three...
I came home from work and nothing else died or turned "whiter". I tested the water again after removing the GFO and ROX 0.8 carbon. Alkalinity – 8.0...
Corals didn't begin to lose color until the algae took over and I ran the tank with lights off for three days. Now the phosphates and nitrates are...
Do you think adding amino acids and increasing feeding will help the corals or only fuel the algae further? I will continue to scrub the algae off...
In theory that is what should happen. Once the rocks are void of nutrients the algae should die off but by me trying to control the nutrient level in...
The algae I did manage to scrub did not grow back yet thankfully but I plan to perform a 30 gallon water change tomorrow.
Yes, CA is 420, MG is 1380. I believe the live rock is the culprit fueling the algae. The corals are starving from me trying to lower my nutrients. A...
I am going to continue updating this thread until my tank is better or until it crashes. I woke up this morning to see my corals are very pale,...
Update: Last night I scrubbed the rocks with a toothbrush as best as I could. I also dosed 2 scoops of ZEOzym, 8 mL of KZ Coral Snow, 8 drops of...
I do not have a refugium, running ZEOVIT I am not able to run a fuge.
Phos Free is what I am using for the lanthanum chloride, it works well. I really don't want to buy new rock but I may have to :(
Please be gentle with the replies to the pictures :( [IMG] [IMG]
I did see a few crawl out during the drying phase and most of the dead floating ones were siphoned out during the cycle but I am sure there are quite...
I am running GFO passively in a mesh bag along with ROX 0.8 carbon and I dose lanthanum chloride, my phosphates read 0.05ppm with a Hanna Checker. I...
I will take a picture but unfortunately it is green hair algae.
Hello, It has been awhile since my last post on this forum but I am on my third tank and this time running the full ZEOvit system. I have a 120...
The corals have been in the tank for two months are beginning to encrust and gaining color. The Mystery Wrasse has developed a strange red bump on...
Thank you, I do not feed much. I usually feed pellets but now I am starting to feed frozen food as my nitrates are 0 and my colors are fading.
Since there isn't much to show in my display tank yet here is a picture from my frag tank. [IMG] I run four ATI Blue Plus, one ATI Coral Plus, one...
