I have had an issue with red algae over the past few months and I can't figure out what the cause is. I know what causes it but I think I am overlooking something (or giving too much credit to my equipment).
I do not run ozone right now and would consider it if it would fix my problem. Curently my ORP is 320.
I have an ASM G4+ ran external with every mod (recirc, gate valve, mesh...) I skim wet and produce the amount shown in the pic (24 hr).
As for flow... I use a mag 18 wide open @ 5' for my return and I have (4) Hydor Koralia 4 pumps @ 1200gph
Thanks for your input.
