Go Big Or Go Home !
So i finally got my Diatoms to go away, i stoped the use of water from my LFS i got a rodi unit and started making my own water with oceanic Salt. Im actually thinking of using Seachem reef salt.
Anyways my diatom problem is gone but now i have a slight Green film algea problem, ofcourse the magfloat ones a day helps get rid of it on the glas but it apears a bit on the sand bed. I got about 60 dwarf ceriths and some nassariouse snails but they dont really take care of it. Im going to start adding fish in about 2 weeks again and i cant wait. I know ones this happens i can add a sand sifting goby and that will help. For now i got some phosban and put it in my canister filter.
HEre are my reading.
amonia -0
Ph 8.2
nitrite - 0
nitrate - 10 ppm
Calcium- 490 with API test kit, the REEF stores test kit says 460
KH 9
Phosfates - use to be about .25 before the phosban now it reads 0. With API test.
anyways im currently in the stages of getting a sump toghether and i hope this will help get rid of the green film algea,
Im also going to go get another 2 bottles of copepods, i know they love the stuff.
On another note i already have a kole tang in my QT tank waiting to be added to my DT when the time is right. i just got him so i think im going to wait 3 weeks at the least. Depending on how hes eating add all that.
So any sugjestions on anything els i can do to get rid of the green film algea ??
