Tank has been running for nearly 4 years and is 120 gallon. tons of
live rock (nearly 90lbs. of live alone) i run a
wet/dry sump, protein
skimmer and a uv. all water changes are done every 3 weeks and i usually do a 20% change. all water used is
Ro. lately ive been doing them more often and in bigger quantities while removing as much of the problem manually as possible. other ideas ive been given were to get mangrove plants and raise my magnesium levels. neither have helped yet. ill definitely change the timer on the lights to run less often, and ill check my chem levels again tonight. dont have a phos tester, but ill scoop one up. thanks for the ideas, im getting sick of seeing algae and not my beautiful rock. ; -)
