I purchaed a used 180 2 months ago with a massive gha problem. Two days ago I removed all the CC and replaced it with 180 lbs of caribsea oolite live sand and today I noticed brown algae forming on the sand.
What should I do ? I don't want it to get out of hand.
And what can I do to get my nitrates and phosphates down ?
Here are the tank specs
30 gal water changes every 2weeks with ro/di water
sl 1.024, Ph 8.2, amonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 30 phosphate 5.0 Cal 460
I am running a BRS dual carbon and gfo reactor also have a ball of cheato I the sump with light on opposite DT lights
Return pump is a magdeive 12 And flow in the tank is from one mp40
and I am running the lights "80 3 watt Led's" 7 hrs per day
