![]() yes im using RO water
No i didnt test nitrates all the time, i just tested after i saw the oil slick i dont have a phosphate test kit so i havent tested it yet. the rock i believe is decently old, i bought it from another reefer (mikeolsen) i believe he had it for several years. this all started when the oil slick on the top of the tank showed up. The changes I did during the oil slick time was remove rowphos and start zeobak, coral snow, sponge power, zeo zyme, cv. Then i stoped most of the zeo stuff and just did zeo zyme and cv and bak to try to get rid of some cayno (which is still there). |

![]() now that i think about it
this problem is familar When i first setup the tank, i had the same symptoms, algea growing fast on the glass I added rowphos and it stopped I removed rowaphos recently and it started So maybe Im doing this wrong, I should start zeozyme and zeobac again so the bacteria can eat away at the phosphates? |

![]() I think algae also feed on PO4. Better to test your PO4 as well as Nitrate. I don't use zeozyme or zeobak, but I dose cv and snow. Use only 1/4 or 1/3 as noted on the bottle. When I first started cv and snow, I followed the instructions on the bottle, I have algae problem.
