    bubbles

    Do you have micro bubbles coming from your return, or a powerhead? That may be an issue as well as they are sticking to the rock.

    High Phosphates Problem

    The sand is new so I would assume if they have any PO4 in it that it would be minimal, unless its already getting saturated. I've got about 5000gph worth of flow and I plan on adding a spray bar for the back of the tank to blow on the rocks. As for water changes, I'm doing them as fast as my...

    High Phosphates Problem

    There are a few rocks that are getting covered in a really light green colored algae. Mainly cyano on the sand and on the glass. Not saying that the rocks arent getting some algae on them but not covered.

    High Phosphates Problem

    I've got about 200lbs. of LR, it came with the tank when I bought the complete setup, and it is about 5 years old. When I bought the tank, 90% of the glass was covered in algae as the guy stopped taking care of it towards the end. May have collected phosphates over that period of time.

    High Phosphates Problem

    That's what I will have to do. As long as I can get the phosphates under control, I'm not in an extreme hurry. I would hold off on the clam but the guy needs it gone today. Maybe I will see if I can take it to the LFS and hold it.

    Drygoods Order

    Actually Rick, it looks like I may need to order a new return pump. It probably wouldnt be until early next week. Let me know if that works for you.

    High Phosphates Problem

    What if I were to just add some phosban in a media bag and run that in one of the baffles in my sump. If I were to put it in right now and later tonight add the clam would that not be enough time for the phosban to start balancing out the chem?

    High Phosphates Problem

    Yeah I understand that the tank is new, I know I'm going to get algae blooms, just didnt know if the very high P was something going wrong. It probably accumlates to all the things that I'm lazy with like not draining frozen foods and stuff like that. I will try all of your suggestions and see...

    Drygoods Order

    Rick - I just got an email from MD about 10 minutes ago saying that my order was shipped. I find this amazing as I put my order in at midnight and they open at 7am and this stuff already shipped at 9am. Thats some quick turn around.

    High Phosphates Problem

    Formula One frozen. I dont dump the water on the mysis, but I will from now on. But can this alone accumulate such high phosphates?

    High Phosphates Problem

    Right now I feed a little bit of spirulina in the morning and then formula one and mysis shrimp at night. Every few days I give them some dried seaweed(have yet to find nori locally). I know that dried seaweed/nori is pretty much a phosphate sheet but I havent fed them all too much of that...
