What caused the phosphate spike?

This is only a 30 gallon tank - it should lazer them.

That's why I want to try elevated levels & a UV with constant basting into water column.

Howdy, I know everyone posts one of these at some time or another during their hobby lifeline. It's a right of passage at this point. I confirmed i do in fact have brown dinos - the stringy type... I let my nitrates & phosphates bottom out.... right when I thought my tank was going to succeed...

Howdy, I am trying fix this piece of ABS plastic to the back of the tank to stop light from spilling over into the back chambers of my AIO. Does anyone have a good idea on how to adhere this? Obviously I'd trim it down to smaller sections.

I can get behind the less frequent water changes - however I can't get behind sitting back not testing and just feeding

A refugium would just further strip nutrients ? I think the tank is pretty mature as Coraline is growing everywhere. I think I simply let my phosphates bottom out and caused a dino outbreak. I agree I'm chasing numbers to an extent but I'm watching Dino's suffocate my corals to the point...

When the lights are turned off the dino enters the water column and than you ZAP it !

The UV is to take care of the Dino's in this tank... the chemi clean will take care of cyano in my frag tank.

I decided to purchase a UV sterilizer for the tank in the passed 30 minutes. I think that will work wonders - chemi clean will help out with the frag tank.

Howdy, I am fighting red cyanobacteria in the frag tank and just like the dino's in my display tank upstairs it's suffocating corals - especially the fresh frags. It grows a film over & than the zoanthids close up and don't open until I take a tooth brush and scrub the plug. This results in...

I somehow managed to let the phosphates bottom out now and dino's are everywhere :( I added Nori & continue to feed pretty heavily to help get them back up however, that won't kill the dino. I see so many methods to remove them but I am just not sure which route is best for me. I just know...

Howdy, I have realized I will be working form home for the foreseeable future. I have decided that during this time I will be quarantining a fish thoroughly for my frank tank in which fish keep dying. I will be getting a baby yellow tang from most likely the Petco in Paramus. I am looking...

Howdy, This whitish mark appeared on my Caulastrea and I was wondering what it is?

Of course he was acclimated haha

Oh my hope all is okay - keep on fighting and keep us posted. Let us know if you need anything

I'll be so sad if RAP is cancelled I did just have to cancel my cruise March 28th to the carribean.. really was looking forward to stepping away from work for a week

@amado I finally got a hold of a PAR meter and found that my corals in my display tank were sitting right about 100. So I pumped the last up In intensity from 80 to 100 and now they're getting ~ 150 to 200. You were right in saying they're probably not strong enough.. a third light will...

I accidently knocked it off when I was cleaning out vermetid snails :(

Algae blenny was about a month & the wrasse was maybe a week?
