Hi I have a 120 gallon with 5 smaller fish have a 40 gallon sump tank is 9 to 10 months old.All parameters check out at 0 ppm ammonia,nitrite,nitrate .My ph is 8.3 my phosphate read zero also on a API test kit.i can not get cheato to grow ether I run gfo,gac and filter sock change every 2 days it seem when I change sock the brown stuff fall off when pulling out of water I skim wet empty half cup a day always brown.i feed fish once a day. I removed refugium out because cheato kept getting brown stuff on it .do 15 gallon change every week .i finally tried chemiclean last night an brown stuff still on sand and live rocks I use instant ocean salt reef crystals all corals do well in tank except GSP.they always look nicer when at store I also have 1 korola 7 2500 cfh and 2 korola s 1400 and return pump is1642 so flow is real high.any help would be great I will try to post pics to I put pics on photobucket but don't know how to get them to here the site say I can't post links yet?
