Ok so I'm going on almost two months with my 75 gallon.
30 gallon refugium with 10 lbs live rock, 3 inches of sand and macro algae
Eshopps 100 protein skimmer
tank has about 40 lbs of live rock that was added to cycle in tank (uncured)
One carbon reactor
One gfo reactor
Aqua wave 4x54 t5s
One deep sea 1x54 t5 actinic "sunrise/sunset
0 nitrites
0 nitrates
0 phosphates
7.5 ph
9 dkh
480 cal
79 temp
So that being said I,m experiencing a second diatom bloom( on sand mostly and fighting cuc on rock and glass) and cloudy water. The first time it happened I got a sand conch 10 snails 10 hermits and they cleaned it up and the tank was awesome ..... But not anymore and it is discouraging.
Water changes made it good for one day then back to ugly.
What do I do...... Need a sanity check
