grassi Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I have a Red Sea Max 250.....If u aren't familiar' date=' it's a 65 gal system which is self-contained. 2 pumps (1st-900gpm, 2nd-450gpm), 6-39w T-5's that usually run about 8 hrs (but down to 5 with this problem arising). I feed about 2-3 times/week, mysis shrimp or flake food, water changes every week or two, and 4 fish (2 clowns, blue damsel, and a coral beauty) + cleaner shrimp. Did I leave anything out?[/quote'] How old the bulbs? Do you rinse the frozen mysis before to throw them in the tank? What brand of flakes?

J-Dog Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 On the red sea web site it says the tank comes with highly porous ceramic filter as part of the biological filtration. If that is true' date=' that could very well be what is causing the problem.[/quote'] I removed the ceramic media, so they aren't the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Dog Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 How old the bulbs? Do you rinse the frozen mysis before to throw them in the tank? What brand of flakes? The bulbs are about 3-4 months old.....I didn't know the mysis was supposed to be rinsed before feeding. I use such a small amount for 4 fish, it would seem like a waste of time. I'm not home, so I don't know the brand of flakes. Why would the flakes matter anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisW Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Welcome to the club. I've been trying to rid my tanks of diatoms for 12 years! If you figure it out, let me know. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
