I would like to start off by saying thank you for all the help in the past. Yes this is my first post but I have been reading the forums for a long time and have learned just about everything I know about reef tanks from these forums. I obviously have a lot to learn. I will try to get to the point and let you know my issues and what I think is relevant information.
I am having 2 issues for what I know might be the same issue.
1. very light brown fuzz all over base rock-smells really bad
2. low PH 7.95 highest I can get
I want to add more coral but seems that the fuzzy stuff is aggravating the corals keeping them closed. The zoas keep forming new polups under the frag away from fuzz while the ones on the top melt away and die.
tank has been setup about 6 months
90 Gallon tank 30 gallon sump
80 lb base rock 20 lb argonite sand in DT
5 lb of live rock from lfs for coraline seed
refugium with 5lb argonite sand and rubble
reef octopus 150nw skimmer
GFO reactor
CO2 scrubber on skimmer
Coral:
only 3 coral GSP, hammer, bam bam zoas
Fish:
3 small spotted cardinals
4 blue chromis
1 neon dotty back
1 canary angelfish
2 clownfish
1 banded coral shrimp
1 emerald crab
7 hermits scarlet and blue legs
Water params
Temp 80F
PH 7.91 at end of lighting cycle
ALK 10.3
Phospate 0.009198 =(3*3.066)/1000 Hana ultra low phosphorus checker
CA 430
MG 1350
Nitrate .05
Kalk and 2 part, believe it is the coraline eating most of it
How do I slow down algae growth, and any other Ideas for low PH
Thanks for any suggestions.
