fino ad ora sono riuscito a tradurre tutte le precedenti, ma qui c'è qualche passaggio poco chiaro, siccome da quanto ho capito, stavolta devo mettere le mani in vasca, meglio essere sicuri!:
Silicates are not your problem here with this "algae" my friend... it is a dinoflagellate. And nutrients overall are the problem (the ozone may in fact help control this... but that is another story)
The solution to this algae problem is very easy, my friend. If you raise yoru pH to a steady 8.3 night-time minimum... and hopefully higher to 8.6 by day... VERY STEADY... for 3 or more weeks, you will watch the pest algae disappear, I promise.
You will also need to keep up with usual water quality such as daily aggressive protein skimming (clean the cup and neck 3-5 times weekly)... and be careful about feeding and water changes. But with nutrients under control, the high pH will make this pest algae go away and it will strongly benefit the rest of your system.
For more information and info about ozone, please see me in my forums at www.reeffrontiers.com (click on the sticky post at the top of my forum called "Fav links..." and you will see many threads under the post called "discussions" in that thread.
I am off to Portugal tomorrow and will not be able to email for a while :( But please try instead to reach me on the message boards :)
Kindly, Anthony
per chi non lo sapesse, ho inserito lo schema elettrico della ciabatta dell'iks, per ora sto fotoincidendo, vi aggiorno:
