I have searched on here and google. Most posts are cloudy with adding sand or rock. Really couldn't find much about after adding coral.
I bought Kego's 60 cube at the begining of the year. I made a few changes to the stand, sump, and plumbing. Took me a bit to set it up and get water in it.
Added a fish after a month and a half. Two weeks after that I put a half dozen pieces of coral in and I guess got an algae bloom later that day. Pulled coral cause a Montipora Undata started melting off the skeleton and put them back in my tank they came out of. Couldn't test for 3 days, but when I did nitrate, nitrite, PH, amonia, and calcium checked good. Water changes didn't get rid of cloudiness so went all lights out for 2 days. That did it. Week went by of being clear so added 2 pieces and was ok for 2 days. Then put in 4 more and algae bloom is back. I did leave the monti in there and it actually has started to come back. I thought it was totally gone.
Running a carbon and gfo reactor. Skimmer rated for twice my water volume.
From what few posts I could find it says I need a UV filter/sanitizer. Any body think that will help me? Any other ideas?
