Just got home from a weekend of camping and it would seem that our GBTA was inhaled by a Koralia Evolution which was running backwards.
I cleaned the powerhead and an unable to find the rest of him. checked in the sump filter and around the tank.
Checked all levels (API: nitrate, nitrite, ammonia - all 0 Salifert: KH - 10.9, CA: 400, Hanna Checker Phosphate: 0.0)
Before we left on Friday I put in fresh carbon and GFO.
This tank has been batteling dinoflagellates, as part fo that I just completed a 3 day blackout which was great, but not 100% - if possible I would like to continue skipping water changes.
All LPS look great. SPS are still low on color from the blackout. I do have some brownish growth on the sandbed which are likely the dinos.
Should I do a water change because of the GBTA? If it is in the best interest I will manage the inevitable flareup of the dono's.
thanks!
