Friday I started running a phosphate reactor because I was having an issue with either diatom or cyano. I also ditched my canister filter. Previously to the reactor I started running Phosban in my canister until the reactor arrived. I am once again seeing a bloom, mainly on the sand bed. There is no noticeable bloom on the rocks or the glass at this time.
Ammonia-0
Nitrite-0
Nitrate-0
PH- 8.0-8.2
A few weeks ago I installed a new LED lighting system, which at the current time is on a 12 hour cycle, sunrise to sunset, which seemed to accelerate the issue. I'm wondering if the lights are the culprit here, and if so, I need some suggestions as far as that goes.
I basically have no corals in the tank yet, just one torch coral and a small Kenya tree.
Your expertise would be most appreciated. Sorry, my camera isn't the greatest.
