The basic stats for my tank:
115 gallon (DT+sump)
7 months old - I rebooted it in November 17
Alk 9.5 (Hanna)
Ca 546 (Hanna)
Phosphate 0.0 (Hanna)
Phosphorous 0 (Hanna ULR)
Nitrates 0.0 (Red Sea)
I have some (but not a lot) stubborn brown hair algae in my DT and some bubble algae in my sump.
My corals are mixed (softies, LPS and SPS). They are generally not doing well. I just got the Hanna checkers and my conclusion is that I am basically starving the corals.
I currently feed once a day, and it's a healthy amount. It takes about an hour for the fish and corals to eat everything.
So, should I:
1) Feed more often, more food?
2) Skim less (I run my skimmer continuously)
3) Dose nitrate and phosphate
4) Something else?
Thanks,
John
