Hey guys, I have a problem and I need some help.
I have a 60 gallon saltwater reef tank and it's been up and running for about 2 1/2 months now. I have a 150W HQI with 2 T5 actinics.
I've been going through a diatom bloom for past 2 weeks and I found the source. It was from my RO/DI filter, so I changed my filters.
But I'm still going through the diatom bloom. I also have a cyano in my sump, but I wasnt too worried till now. I noticed that the cyano is starting to grow over my diatoms in the DT.
I just added a TLF-150 phosphate reactor with 250ml of RowaPhos media yesterday. I'm hoping it'll help. I'm also doing 10 gallon water changes every weekend.
I had a chromis die about a month ago but I never found him. Do you think the dead fish might be the problem?
My parameters are:
Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
Nitrate: 0ppm
Phosphate: undetectable with API Test Kit
My skimmer is on 24/7 and I change my filter sock every 3-4 days.
I feed twice a day but smaller in small portions. I'm feeding mysis at the moment and I always rinse it before I feed it.
Is there anything else I can do guys?
I dont want cyano going crazy in my DT.
