surjer Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Its all but taken over my tank. I switched back to the stock light and added a skimmer last night. Tank looks like crap and is really got me puzzled. Nitrates are below 5 and no nitrites or amonnia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimsonvice Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Looks like you might have a little case of dinos, my friend. I might try a day or two with lights off, keep skimming, add cuc and see where you are at. You might not see huge differences in your nutrients because the algae is consuming them. Looks like your in the right track. Is some of the "stick" like agae hard, or is it all soft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also fuzz covering most of the rock work. The skimmer seems to be doing a good job so far. Half a cup of skimmate (dark brown tea). The cleanup crew ships the monday after new years unfortunately but i feel they are coming from a good place so hopfully this will only take a month or so to clear up. i do NOT want to lose interest! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
