HI,
ammonia & nitrites 0
nitrates 0.00 elos
phos 0.03 hanna checker
alk 7.8 hanna checker
cal 420 hanna checker
mag 1250 elos
As you can see in the photo I am Seeing the first signs of green hair algae on rocks. Not noticeable to a bystander yet - but to me (i know my tank)
Is there anything I can do to stop an outbreak
I did just replace 4 of the T5 bulbs recently ?
Water changes are approx 250 liters every 3-4 weeks.
Do tank readings every week only ever have to dose ALK and CAL ?
Changed out sand bed about 3 months ago am getting some diatoms (on sand only)
Run a phosban reactor with rowaphos
carbon reactor with Seachem Carbon
Also wondering if tank is stable and parameters are good do you have to do water changes as often or do you just do them when readings start rising ? I do them every 3-4 weeks because I want the fish to have fresh water but the readings all suggest that it may not be necessary. Previous owner of this tank only did them every 3 months ?
