- Thread starter coloagro
- Start date
I can wait till Friday its not that urgent, I just need to do a test by weeks end to see where I'm at. Just having some minor algae blooms but I'm pretty certain its due to some late stage tank cycling. I'm in South Denver let me know if either of you will be near the area over the next week. Pm me - Thx everyone!
Wow your a saint! Pm sent - I'm having some unexplained algae blooms and all my params are in line except I haven't checked my PO4 yet so this is a huge help. I'm beginning to think my RO cartridges are needing replacement but their only a couple months old... And I only have a 22g so not much water is being made. Thx 4 ur help I owe u
Zooid aka Gale saved me! Got the package in the mail today! I just love this supportive community! Thanks Gale!
BTW - Ran a test and I was SHOCKED to see my PO4 at .17 - However I've been fighting numerous types of algae Hair, Diatoms and maybe Cyno so I'm not surprised.
My homemade water is reading 0 TDS, my filters are only 4-5 months old and I run a 22g so not much water is made. I flushed my system a few times and am monitoring closely.
But for now, I've strapped on the ol trusty BRS Reactor and am running GFO on the tank to knock it down slowly. I've fed the same food for months so it cant be that. The only thing I can think is the substrate or LR leaching. However the substrate is common Arg Alive stuff and the LR came from Mikes tank. I'm not sure what the hell is going on but hopefully I can run this GFO for a couple hours a day and make it all go away! Coral and fish seem fine. All other levels are fine
Salinity - 1.025
Nitrate 0
Alk 9DKH
Calcium 440ppm
Mag 1350
PO4 .17 !!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF
Anyways - THANKS GALE!
