2 weeks into tank will this GHA go away?

So Im two weeks into the tank and I have quite a bit of GHA around, I bought some turbos and hermits and they have been attacking it pretty well but I dont think they can do a good enough job.

As the tank cycles longer do you think this will go away?

 

It will go away eventually. It's part of cycling a new tank.

 

are you using RO/DI water? tap?

 

if your 2 weeks into it,just turn the lights off.

 

I originally used tap, but Im using RO for water changes now, hopefully take down the phosphate levels. I was thinking about trying a refigium or some chaeto.

Some friends gave me some Xenia for free, I dont really want to turn the lights off for a long time.

 

ok,how long are you running them?

 

umm 6-8 hours, maybe a little longer. Luner LED's to but idk how much that does for anything.

 

Try adding a timer on your lights for consistancy on 6 or 7 hours would be fine for now,but like Blackraven said,alot is just a part of the new tank syndrome.I'm fighting the same battle myself at the moment.Switching to ro/di was a good move,and thats what i'm working on trying to get a unit for mine as i'm sure my phosphates are my problem.

 

Yea that's what I've heard, should have started it with RO/DI oh well haha.

 

Patience and going slow is the solution.
