Hi

First of all hi my name is Leah and I have been into aquariums now for a few years. I have a 72 gal reef tank, I do weekly water changes. But I seem to get this green slime on top. I also have a new fish only 95 gal and guess what it has it to. Does anyone have any idea what it is? I use a aqua remora skimmer, I also have 4 powerheads lots of groovy motion, an Eheim pro 2 2028. And I use instant ocean salt.

Have you done any phosphate tests?

[Aquattro]

I'd give some thought to your water. You don't say where you live, somewhere in the Okanagan? Depending on where, the water may be higher in nutrients.

Brad,
Thank-you I will check the phosphates, we live in Penticton and have lake water so that could be, Thank-you.

I recall when doing some work at the Kelowna water treatment plant, that the discharge back into the lake was high on the Nitrate side. Check those as well.
