I am not sure how else to describe it, but it seems like my new tank has just turned into a snow globe... hmmm
I am curretly cycling my tank.
Water:
Salinity: 1.025
Temp: 77.2
Ammonia: 0ppm ( high of 4ppm )
Nitrite: 2ppm ( high of 5ppm )
Nitrate: 10ppm ( highest reading so far, has not come down in 5 days )
High Range Ph: 8.0
FYI, I did lose power for 2 days and the temp in the tank dropped to 71 before it was restored. I was not running my lights until yesterday ( took delivery so I wanted to test them out )
any idea on what this is and what caused it? everything has a coating of white on it. 2 of the pics is the coating on the rocks and the other pic is the flakes floating on the surface.
thank you!!!!
