I've read all the posts and am stumped. Nitrate 0, Amonio 0, Salinity 1.025, 0 silicates, 0 phosphate, hair algae all over the place, some green on the glass as well as brown. Just switched to feeding every other day. Replaced vho bulbs less than a month ago, getting a new mh bulb tommorrow. Just to be sure, I put sea chem's phosguard and coralifes silicate remove in a bag in my canister filter (only thing in it) for a couple days.
I also tested the ro water, 0 on silicates and phosphates.
I am using instant ocean.
What else should I check?
I scrubbed clean the one rock that had the most and was easy to get to without dismantling the tank.
Only bad paramter is alk which is at around 5.
Calcium is also a bit high 450+ on the salifert kit.
Any more advice?
