I'm very happy with the find but I just hope can maintain the colour. Found an only spot for it but it is right at the bottom of my tank with lower flow. Cross fingers!

Mellow Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 As usual, did my 5% weekly water change by buying water from aquamarin. However, just can't quite figure out why I still have pockets of diatoms and cyano. Measured my phosphate and nitrate and both are undetectable. I'm wondering if it due to the sand which is still leaching phosphates. Thought it shouldn't be the case since it's already 10 months Quote "Save a reef, grow your own" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member james72 Posted April 20, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted April 20, 2014 Yup, thats one of the reason I gave up on po4 test, I just rely on sps colours to take action. Previously I have algae problems also even though po4 was not detectable. What changes on your tank n routine? Any new food? New sand? Or the fishes has growth?

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk no changes to my routine leh. Maybe my new light tubes which has lower kelvin now I suspect. Used to have more blue tubes but now more white. Hmmm. Really need to find the root cause man. I added a school of chromis recently too, maybe all these adds up. Hope it will balance out again soon Quote "Save a reef, grow your own" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
