Hello all. Wanted to start by apologizing that I don't reply to many conversations because I know there are much more experienced reefers that could give more accurate information than myself. I know it seems that all I do is ask stupid questions from time to time but I read a lot of threads on here & have learned so much. A BIG thanks to everyone for everything!!!
Anyway, like my chronicle states, I recently move to a new house. Moving my 220 gallon tank was a chore but all in all a success. Since my move I have had the daily cyno algae outbreaks on my sand bed. I have a lot of water movement down low cuz I battle my sand floating around. Was curious if this is due to my move or if uall think it might be other problems. My lights are goin on 9 months old & are on roughly 9 hours a day. (3-250 watt halides). I'm currently at work so I don't have my notebook in front of me but water perimeters are (if I remember correctly)
Salinity--1.025
Ph-8.1
Temp----79.8
Calcium---380 (dropped after move)
Kh---9
Magnesium---1250
Phosphates---0.25
Nitrates---10-20 (I'm color blind so colors
are hard to distinguish)
Nitrites---0
Ammonia---0
I know my phosphates & nitrates aren't to par at the moment, doing a water change on Monday, workin all weekend. You think after I get those back down, my cyno will go away?? Sorry for lengthy post but like always any input is greatly appreciated. [emoji4]
