the one and only
right you all know i went an got a second set up - least i think i told you- anyway this tank has had me on my knees praying when i test lol - u think im jokin
anyway when it was moved it was setup as it was sand rock u name it.
what i have done so far,- to try to get no3 to drop
get rid of the stinking sponges in the sump-replace with floss, replace the carbon and cheato and added more light to the cheato section
i have banned myself from testing for 10 days * i was at the point of tears* so in another 7 days ill test, for the previous daily tests they have all been reading over 100 using salifert and api tests, i have been doing regular -every other day- 25-50 water changes after buying my own RO unit, but to be honest i seem to be wasting my time, i did consider a huge 100% WC but was advised against it, incase of shock
tank has fish and corals, who all for the time being seem fine, but obviously this situationj isnt ideal
i also found a rusty cable clip on one of the power head magnets and was overjoyed that this may be the cause, but apprently not
the last resort was to leave it untouched apart from top ups and feeding small amounts
the set up
- now 2 powerheads
-now new lighting in there
- this is what i found and thought was the cause
all help and giudence would be much appreciated *RO is testing 0 for everything by the way*
note also the green algae( todays pic)
