 Cyano???
Evening everyone. Hope each of you had a great x-mas.
I have finished the swap to the 75g as mentioned in an earlier post and made a DIY 30g fuge. Everything has been great since the swap. No loss of corals or fish. I did have an incident with a bad hydrometer (deep six) It was 6 points off so my salinity went up to 1.032. Corals did not like that a bit. I have since ordered a refractometer with the temp compensation also. Will be here tomorrow.
Anyway, I have noticed in the last few days red slime alage in the fuge. It is covering both sides of each baffle (3 total) between the input and fuge section. I also have some of it in the fuge on the sand and glass as well as on the macro. I have tested the water and have perfect readings...
Ammomia-0
Trites and trates-0 (yes zero finally)
PH-8.2
Alk-4
Calcium-430
Salinity- 1.026 (after the big spike)
Mag-1300
Not sure why this is happening or how to rid the fuge of it. I have placed a powerhead in the fuge portion to make sure it is getting enough flow to see if that was it. I have stopped using Reef Solutions also which I was adding daily (capful) to see if that was the cause.
Any input on this would be appreciative.
Thanks,
T
