Hey Everyone - I'm dealing with an algae bloom during my cycling. I switched to RO/DI water this past weekend. I'm at Day 30 and my numbers have spiked and stabling off at:
Amm 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 2ppm
Ph 8.0
Phos 0.25
Alk 110
Cal 400
Iron 0
Mg 1440
Salinity is 1.025 at 80oF
I am running GFO (PhosNet) for the past week with carbon. I have 2 Cerith Snails, 2 Astraea Snails, 1 emerald green crab and 3 hermit crabs, which have helped take down some of the algae.
Will they be able to rid the rest or should I be doing something else to help more?
