Will sps lose color? A majority of my sps lost color because I moved my lights about 4 inches higher for almost a week.

I had a algae outbreak at the beginning of summer gha and others all at once it took about 1.5 kg of rowa and a 3 day black out. Jason 3-4 weeks of rowa will not get rid of it I actually found it got a bit worse at first. I have been changing out 300grams plus every 2 weeks of rowa. Finally 3 months later it's 98% gone.

When I transferred tanks I ran into some problems and had my corals (90%sps) in the holding bin without light for 7 days. Nothing died but some faded, after a few weeks it all came back to where it was. |

Just use tinfoil. Wrap it around the whole tank and see what happens. I'm battling a bunch of algae right now as well. As in four different ones. I am using black out and will add chaeto after to deal with the excess nutrients.

K I will try the blackout. Can fish still catch food in the total darkness?

Thanks for the many responses everyone

I'll have to step up my housekeeping methods for awhile. I used to clean my sandbed but stopped when the diatoms wouldn't go away. Fat lot of good that did me I forgot to mention something I found before starting this thread. And this issue for sure was not helping me; My RO was showing 2 TDS and a Hanna test showed 0.002 in my storage drum I cleaned the RO out and replaced the Membrane I agree with needing to step up my WC amounts |
Too late to edit
My RO PO4 test last week was 0.02 Today it's 0.01, but who knows what it really is with an accuracy of +/-.04 |
Bought a new NO2/NO3 kit tonight and will check tomorrow
Did a 3-day blackout over the weekend. Nothing suffered much and the GHA backed off enough for me to get a bit of a grip on it. Plus the cyano and diatoms have subsided ... for now Tonight I siphoned/scrubbed off as much GHA as I could and then added a Sea Hare The little Bunny is going to town like there's no tomorrow ... each section it passes over is scoured right down to the LR :surprise: So, now all I have to do is figure out where this problem came from in the first place .... :redface: |
