Lowefx January 31, 2023 Share January 31, 2023 Hey all, Maybe some of you made the same mistake I have. I lowered nutrients (PO4) too fast and I have been battling green algae and cyano for a month now. Since lowering nutrient's, I have maintained the new levels. (Alk 8.1-8.6, Ca 410-435, Mg 1420, Po4 .03-.12, NO3 25ish) for 3 weeks and trying to keep them stable. Many corals are RTNing and I am trying to bandaid this before everything goes. If you ever made the mistake I have, how long or what did you do to save the tank. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnchowdary February 1, 2023 Share February 1, 2023 If you don’t mind using chemicals. I highly recommend using chemiclean, it took care of my green cyano problem in one treatment.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatle February 11, 2023 Share February 11, 2023 I battled hair algae for a couple months before picking up a more robust CUC. BRK's recommendation of Mexican turbo snails was right on. I do AWCs of about 1.5% a day. A refugium on a reverse light cycle also helps. How old is your tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
