ponda Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 rescaped the pico today - so the xenia doesnt look so hot :-0 and took out the GSP will try to keep this layout for awhile. fed the tank wayyyyyy tooo much food last night. so i thought it would be a good time to switch the layout did a 80% water change. all critters are still alive . still need a new light + i think i need a powerhead. saw some bubble algae building up behind the heater my wife tells me the tank looks like its just a bunch of frags :-( hopefully will see some growth soon :-0 Link to comment

ponda Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 had to take the frogspon out and swap it with the jumbo torch. ever since we switched to LED in our biocube29g the torch has done awful.... so its only in the pico until it can be saved O_o tanks been @ about 84 so i got some cyano :-0 been feeding heavy and what not...... just rescaped so everything looks .... mehh :-) Link to comment
ponda Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 the picture above was right after i re-scaped and all corals were fondled and exposed to air :-0 im starting to notice all the candy canes are doubling up :-) and the hard corals are doing okay besides the birdnest that was touching the candycane and got bleached :-( Link to comment
ponda Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 hey brandon have you ever put hydrogen peroxide on your birdsnest coral? mine was once a whiteish colour now its brown..... whats your thoughts? Link to comment
ponda Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Got me some hard corals over the weekend. Rearranged the tank. Nrw lighting soonish..... Hopefully the pink coral recovers. It fell alot when rearranging and turned 1/2 brown......beeen 24hrs..... Link to comment
brandon429 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 we have some references for treating seri birds nest w peroxide in the thread on google "pest algae challenge thread" not sure about the color change as that can be associated with light and nutrient levels as well. about the best we can manage is keeping algae off them through some means, and continually striving for that pinkish color but Ive seen them get brownish in other tanks not using peroxide, so if your polyps look good Id still vote it a successful colony of coral even if darkened a little Link to comment
ponda Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Got 2 new sps. The only thing growing fast is my birdsnest and candycanes :0 Im hoping to trade the candycane coral for a sps in a month or so??? Not much new Link to comment
ponda Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 So I finally upgraded to led lights. Not much new growth since last post. My pink sps turned brown. And I put it in my other tank. Im going to switch from reef crystal salt to coralife. Going to place my order Wednesday. Hopefully my corals gain there colour back. Led rules :-) Link to comment
