Alright a little background
55 gal tank
7.5 months old (260w PC lighting)
90 # LR
80# LS
Wet\Dry
Aqua C Remora Skimmer
Reading as as of this afternoon:
Trites 0
Trates 0
Ammonia 0
PH 7.8 (It's been stuck there since day 1)
PO4 0.5
Kh 8.16
Calcium >500 (off the chart) usually sits between 450-475 Don't know why it's so high
Inmates:
Flame angel
2-Flase Percs
2- PJ Cardinals
CBS
2- Peppermint Shrimp
3- Emerald Crabs
Lots of snails
BTA
Frogspawn
Green Ricordia
Blue Mushrooms
Xenia
Feather Duster
Toadstool Leather
For circulation I have a Rio 1100 on the wet\dry. A Mag 9.5 on a closed loop SQWD and a Maxijet 1200 on the skimmer.
The shrooms are growing like crazy. The BTA has more than doubled in size. The Xenia are multipying. The Frogspawn is shrinking since the Cyano started.
So now that you've read all this,do any of you have any idea why the Cyano has made a sudden overwelming appearance? I've been vacuuming most of it up every day but it just returns with a vengence.
Thanks for your help
Ed
