High Tide Aquatics

Gerry’s Waterbox 180.5

Well,
Time for an update on my tank. I went through a bad cyano outbreak over the last 4 months. Lost quite a few acros and some lps. Took a while to get it under control. I think it was due to high phosphates. They measured at 0.9. Spent time doing larger water changes which helped. I think in the end I was over feeding too much. I bought a cheap drum auto feeder for the pellet food. This helped take “the power” of feeding out of my hands. I realize that I just love having too many fish. So ended up adding a GFO reactor. Phosphates are now around 0.15. Cyano is gone. Had some turf algae but I think my algae blenny finally got caught up on this because not it is gone. Still seeing some sps not looking happy. Brought home a frag and it RTSed in two days. So no more Acros till everything settles down.

Still interested in lanthum dosing. Just need to have some time to set it up and monitor it closely.

I assume the GFO pulled out most of the traces the acros need to be happy. What have you been supplementing since using GFO?
 
I have not done any supplementation. GFO was just started two weeks ago. The acros were in trouble over the last couple of months. I need to run and ICP test and see what to supplement.
