Needing advice on how to get these parameters in check. This is a new lagoon 25 tank with 20 gallons water.
Nitrate 18.7
Phosphate .02
Alk 7.3
Calc 537
Mag 1780
PH 7.8
Finished cycle two weeks ago. Currently have the following transferred from my waterbox 220.
6 soft corals and a few snails, 3 chromis, red eye goby, tiger goby, firefish, yellow corris wrasse, and a clown.
I'm contemplating nuking and starting over on my 220.6, Just waiting on some anemones to get into the tubes I added to get them off the rocks, This is why I started this lagoon 25 tank, to hold my living coral and fish, I started that 220.6 tank the end of February and have had nothing but issues, Dino's , ich, cyano, string algae. Lost thousands of dollars in coral and livestock, Treated all with chemicals and various other methods. This may have contributed to my miseries.
I believe I kept my tank too clean, and Dino's kept coming back. I have Dino's, cyano, and string bacteria in my 220.6 now, I`m just grabbing all the living items and transferring them to this new tank for now, as I decide how to move forward with the 220.6
I've researched the nuke method, the rip and clean, waiting it out, etc. Need advice please. - Thanks
