You should siphon the sand bed, feed less, more water changes with GOOD water, blast the rocks with a powerhead occasionally. Maybe add some GFO and carbon as well Link to comment
Merthynia Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Trochus snails? Turbo snails? What size of tank? Do you have snails? Link to comment
isaacharry Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 I'm running carbon, it went down a little bit. it is a 20 g and i have some turbo snails and nassaurus and babylonian but they stick to the glass Link to comment
ndrobey Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Time to start testing for phosphates. Link to comment
Hig789 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Why do you dose NO3PO4x if you don't even test for phosphates? I'd get a Hanna meter to check them. And my guess is that your nitrates aren't zero either if you have hat much algae growth. Picture? You should siphon the sand bed, feed less, more water changes with GOOD water, blast the rocks with a powerhead occasionally. Maybe add some GFO and carbon as well All that stuff too. Link to comment
