Thanks to all who posted on my thread to help with my light and water issue. Thanks to Ron, I got a 6-week old light strip which includes 2 x 250 HQI MH, 4 x 39 watt T5's and 18 lunars. Although it is a 36", with it mounted about 5 inches above the tank, I get total light penetration everywhere!
I had a salinity issue...but getting it under control, now... 1.027(need to get it to 1.025 right?)
Calcium..400
ph 8.2
dkh 6-7(working on getting it higher)
nitrates 0-20
nitrites 0-20
I have had a bubble algae problem, hair alge as well. Found out TDS reading on my RO/DI sourse was 22 ppm. Besides my source of water what do to treat and prevent this from coming up again? I was feeding 1 cube of frozen food every 3 days(krill, brine, mysis, different variety). Is this too much??
Trying to get things in shape...maybe restock cleaner crew?..for a clean slate.
