Yeah it was flashing like crazy

Also switched my lights to my old Kessils honestly it looks so amazing I put it on blue and the color pops!! I wish I did it sooner, unfortunately one of my lights blue died if anyone has an extra A360we tuna or spectra controller I might be open to trade or buy it as well, thanks!

Update*** definitely think you guys were right it looks like Cyanobacteria, went ahead and listed my levels below as well as more pictures .

Up I have the plank as well yes I realized that I lowered it to 3 minutes twice a day how long do you typically feed for?

do you just put in rinsed Poly fil directly in the baffle or do you put it in a permeable bag, always heard its a cheap easy solution but was never sure, thinking of doing the same thing for my sump. btw your tank is amazing thank you so much for sharing, I know in a few months when things get...

I was feeding frozen but with my son and busy life at the moment I switched to pellets and an automatic feeder which has been really nice (saved me when I had to go on a cruise for a week) and easy. I do manually feed some Nori for my tangs every so often. I think I need to look into how long I...

Going to test when I get home I think my phosphates were really high I can see if I had logged my previous numbers

I just did a really big water change I think my nitrates and phosphates are getting a bit out of control I was feeding more but taking it down now until I get my levels controlled (updated my tank journal because I think I found the gross culprit smh) Not sure what SW is

Also caught my purple short spine pincushion urchin with a very impressive hat :D

Gross Tank update, I think I know why my phosphates and nitrates have been really high for a while....apparently I had completely missed that I left a filter floss pad in a lower part of my sump since practically the day I got it maybe close to 9-10 months now!!! o_O can't believe I missed that...

That might not be a bad idea for the stream thanks for the suggestion I’ll look into the chaetogrow thanks I thought I had so much excess phosphates and nitrates it would grow out my sump and walk away, I even have a Kessil light on full white at night time

Here are some newer pics I tried to get

Thanks I did have one but that is something I too have neglected unfortunately hahaha I’m starting to have purple bubble algae forming seems like my nutrients are really high. I just kinda felt like I never truly learned the right way to do things. Even setting flow or a proper refugeium

Hello I was wondering if anyone is willing to come out and help me with my tank, I feel like I have been slacking a bit and have not been doing it the justice it deserves. I never really got to learn about dosing, and think a lot of my parameters are out of wack. My Chaeto isn't growing the way...

Thank you again!
