Can’t work out why it’s back again. It looks like Cyano. Could it be coincidental with the start of NOPOx use or removing rock for aquascaping or the soaking of rocks stuck with StoneFix??? So frustrating.
Started Red Cayno RX this evening, before it gets worse and kills off my Acros.
Too high! I've not monitored this for a few months. Thinking the Pax Bellum could maintain it.
Also removed the sand bed which may(?) have contributed.
Its back again! This will have to be the third time.
It first started with Cyano and now after treating with Red CyanoRx, the population of Dinos have started taking off. Its so disappointing and crushing to the spirit.
I've started the following:
1. Started Kalk again, and turned down the DaStaCo, to increase pH aiming for 8.6
2. Changed the Lighting - Stopping Halides and T5s (AquaBlue Coral). T5 on Blue Plus and LEDs are now on blue and actinic.
3. Stopping dosing of all additives, including NOPOX. Continuing with ZB, BM, CC, CS and ZZ. Reducing Coral food. Increasing dosing of PO4 and NO3.
4. Dosing Dr Tim's re-fresh and Waste-away
5. Skimming wet
6.. Daily blasting of Dinos
I'm still contemplating shutting the tank down and selling off all the corals. Sigh.
No fire in the belly left.
