Well after being away for much of Christmas my Nano tank is showing some struggles. I developed some type of slimy brown algae on all the SPS and it's already resulting in about a 60% death rate for them.
A couple are holding and I'm doing all I can to keep the stuff at bay. My parameters were pretty good, PO4 was a little high as I was due for a GAC and Phos change in mid Dec and didn't get it done until Jan 2nd.
None of my efforts seemed to be affecting this stuff so yesterday I tried some chemi-clean just in case this stuff was related to cyano. Funny thing is that my sand is as clean as a whistle...my fuge has a tiny bit of cyano but nothing major at all.
Anyways, the LPS and zoas are all fine so we'll just keep fighting the good fight and see what comes of it. Worst case scenario I make a Frag-a-lot order of $10 frags and re-fill the nano once I know this stuff is beat.
