1fishmonger Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I'd isolate that frag immediately and cut off the part with the algae on it. Prevention is the best cure! Link to comment

shaneandjohn Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Good catch on the Bryopsis!! All it takes is a hint of it and it will grow. I am battling it right now, snuck in a frag, and unfortunately dipping doesn't kill the Algea, just the bugs!! Your tank looks awesome. !!! I will be upgrading my 3 gallon after the contest and am looking to get ideas in your size range. I just have to decide if I will go with. Naked cube with the AC 70 or 110 or get an AIO of that similar size Link to comment
fiction101 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I cant believe garf is still around. I remember buying pounds of their crud, what a mess that was! I would avoid the tunze nanostream, it will be stronger than the mp10 in that little tank. Stick with a nano koralia. Link to comment

Their products are awesome! I am very happy with them! I am actually going back to the MP10 now that the substrate is covered with the heavy grunge. Link to comment
FireCorals Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Updated first post with most recent Full Tank Shot. It currently has the TruPop over it (LFS using my Full Spec to show to customers, will put it back when i get new shipment) and all the Garf Diveristy has been added to the tank, the amount of life popping up everywhere is great! I had some zoas That havent opened in a week and are now starting to open. Also, the "bryopsis" that was all over that Favia is just Gone... It might come back, but from i Can see, its no longer there. Can't wait to get the MP10 back in here and add some SPS. Link to comment
metrokat Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Spot treat the favia frag with peroxide, undiluted. Results in 3 days or I'll eat my shoe. Link to comment
FireCorals Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 I am going to try that later just to be on the safe side. Is there any precautions to take so I don't harm the actual coral with this method? Link to comment
metrokat Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I was looking at the pic again, I could almost bet you can put that frag in a little bit of peroxide so the frag plug is submerged but not enough that it touches the coral. I'm putting your question on the peroxide forum for Brandon. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Looks good I really like the frags. Going to be awesome. Link to comment

Mini-Dude Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Hey mike! On the first page of this thread you were acclamating frags in little plastic cups. Could you explain this methodology to me? Thanks! Link to comment

Could you explain this methodology to me? Thanks! Lol, nothing to it! Local farmer sells their frags in these containers. Just float acclimating like I would corals in bags. I just did this same thing last night to my favia. diluted peroxid. no ill effects. looks perfect now. Sounds good, how long and how diluted? Going to do this tonight. Link to comment

d'Espresso Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Looking good Mike! You almost got me thinking about setup a pico and trying out your LEDs. I am in Florida near Orlando. Gonna follow along on this tank.. everything looking great! Are you still going to HD to get that Vanity cabinet? lol Link to comment

Gonna follow along on this tank.. everything looking great! Are you still going to HD to get that Vanity cabinet? lol LOL. I went to today and almost bought one, no lie. It wasn't nice enough to jump on right away considering I am moving in the next few weeks, but I was so tempted. I am actually thinking about having a custom tank made, either by Pico Aqauriums or a local company, Reef Savvy. Would love to go with Pico, but I think the shipping costs on a tank the size I want might kill it. The foot print is the exact same, just an inch taller. So that vanity would still be perfect. Your setup is beautiful and I hope I can setup something just as nice. Link to comment
d'Espresso Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Just take your time and gather up some great ideas! I have faith in you. I like Pico Aquarium, they can do custom work but remember you are paying for quality work so the price seem decent. If i should of known that they did custom work i would of jump on that too, because i love rimless but somehow i made the 40b Aqueon works with the white trim. When i painted it i bought the none gloss white. So the stand could stand out more and not take away the view of the tank. Congrats on the new house! Link to comment
