OC CJ
Crushed coral > sand
My tank has been up and running for abot 1.5 years and I decided to give ozone a another try after not running it for 5 years.
Tank had no algae problem and I only ran aquamaxx all in one filter media.
Since using ozone again i've seen a brown algae bloom on the sand every day and my fuge broke out in cyano. Don't remember this happening before.
I'm running the ozone 24/7, not to exceed 420 orp. My generator is running about 35mg/hr. Been running this way for about 2.5 weeks.
Other than removing the aquamaxx media in place for an ozone carbon post filter, i haven't changed anything on the tank. I don't remember this happening the last time i ran ozone.
Params are stable with nitrates undetectable and phosphates at or below .03.
What am i missing? Is this typical when first starting ozone? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
CJ
