I have a 34g Red Sea Max, it has been set up for three months now. I bought an angle, skipped the QT(It was from the same LFS everything else came from) and it had ick. I started garlic with brine shrimp, and feed 1 and 1/2 times per day to promote better health with more food. my amonia is 0 nitrates are 0, but the nitates are 2.25. I did a 20% water change yesterday, but still high. There became a lot of green algea on the rocks, and brown on the sand. It has a six line wrass, Flame angel, and two chromis, cleaner shrimp, and other shrimp, the corals are doing awesome, but the ick is not going away, and the nitrites are high. Should I cut back on the feeeding?, or how else do I lower the nitrates and reduce my algea?
