Newish tank - 2.5 months. Had a major dino outbreak 2-3 weeks ago. Dosed microbacter 7 and ran UV heavily. Fed phyto and pods etc etc. Now, there is ZERO dinos. Crystal clear. And zero algae. I scrape the glass maybe every 4-5 days just to get a bit of the nasty off. Theres some very faint green on the rocks. Corals are all open and happy, coloration is a bit washed out, but that could be from dinos having everything ticked off for two weeks.
My parms have consistently been 0.25ppm~ Po4 and around 10-20ppm No3...
Should I do a 10% water change to try and bring Po4 down? Or leave it alone since corals seem happy and the rockwork doesn't have much if any of an algae framework yet?
I'm feeding dry twice daily from an autofeeder on the lowest setting, and one half thumb sized chunk of LRS / Rods daily to keep nutrients up to avoid bottoming out and re-introing dinos.
Seems Nitrates aren't going up at all, which is fine, but my Po4 is steadily sitting around .25ppm.
Cheers
