Hey there.
I have noticed that the top of my live rock has developed a bleach white appearance on most surfaces. Looking around previous posts it seems like this is a sign of dead coraline algae. Should I be worried? The rock has turned white in all areas closest to the lights that is not covered with algae. I am new to sw aquariums. my first tank has recently finished cycling and I added 10 hermit crabs and 1 turbo snail 2 days ago. my 58g tank has t5 lights. 2x10,000k daylight and 2x420nm actinics. i have been using the daylight lights only. 12 hours on/off. i tested all the params today. calcium 450 ppm NH4 0.05 ppm NO2 0.05 ppm NO3 8 ppm ph 8.2 alk 2.4 temp 82-84 I also have alot of algae growth in the last 5 days. mostly brown stuff on the rocks, sand, and glass. other green and purple hair algae has grown on the rocks only. seems like all the params are where they should be. is it an effect of too much light? or are these symptoms nothing too worry about?? Thanks for any advice you all have, Aroon |
