Algae Disaster
I have been doing Salt Water for 15+ years and I have never seen a tank issue like I am experiencing.
My Salt Water tank - non reef has been set up for about 10 years (and moved 3 times). About 6 months ago it cracked and I had to replace the tank. This is where the issue started.
I kept about 70 percent of the water and the wet dry never stopped. Since this has happned, my nitrates are normal, but my nitrites are very high. I have Algae that is growing over everything. I recently flipped over the coral and in 4 days it is covered green. The algae on my glass is so thick that in 5 days, I can't see the fish.
I do water changes about once a month and have used the nitrite reducer but that has not worked at all and seemed to make it worse.
The fish are healthy and eating, and I have have a sea slug still alive. Recently I lost the algae eating slugs that during this time had tripled in size.
I am at a loss and look forward to any support you can yield
