Looking for help on 10 gallon tank!!!!
Been in the hobby, with small 5 gallon tank for years. Decided in May to start up larger tank with Reef Capable lighting, hoping to move beyond basic tank with just a Goby and Kenya tree.
Now in new tank I have struggled with cyanno bacteria and algae growth but have never had any parameter problems, levels measured by myself and LFS have always been zero or perfect. I have done multiple cyano treatments, with minimal results. With the bacteria problems I have delayed putting in any corals besides transferring Kenya tree, fish, and a star poly frag.
I am wondering if I need to add corals to the tank to combat the bacteria and use up some of the light, change out live rock (started with dry) to introduce new bacteria colony or any other recommendations? I am getting really frustrated that my larger tank (up to 10 from 5 g) is harder and that I have not been able to start coral growth.
