:frustrat:
Ok..had to break down the tank in the spring and its been back up for six months. Been through the diatom bloom, hair algea, etc. I am waiting for the coraline to take over before I start putting the polyps, shrooms, plates, etc.
salinity 1.23
ph 8.2
alk 410
calcium 490
nitrites, nitrates 0
phosphates 0
Using sump, with protien skimmer, currently using phosphate remover in an over the back filter for the last month. the tank is a 180g, with oceanmedic light 3 250w MH, 4 39w PC atinics
I drip kalk daily. dose with magn weekly, use a two part buffer/calc
I am getting some dots of white/pink coraline on the back wall but I still cannot get anything on the rock. The liverock that came in with coraline, it has paled.
What am I doing wrong? :frustrat: :frustrat: :sniffles:
I am trying to be very patient....but
