Spiderguardnano Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 is it normal to see green spots on your live rock? Link to comment
JR! Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 coralline comes in many colors. that might be what youre seeing Link to comment
Spiderguardnano Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 coralline comes in many colors. that might be what youre seeing theres some coralline on the rocks but the spots that are not covered in purple kind of have a green look to it Link to comment
Dramad1 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Id say its a bit early to see coraline growth but it could be seeing as you used cured lr. Im guessing its a diatom bloom on the rocks. Try to scrub a lil patch with a tooth brush. If it comes off then algae/diatoms, completely normal for new tanks. Snails should eat it up. You should check out some of those SA morphs that aw has. Kinda pricy but not as bad if you were to get them direct from SA. What kinda zoas are you getting? Aqua sd always has a huge selection as well as cheap frag packs Tanks looking good by the way Link to comment
lilmatty5dimes Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Looks great. I would be careful adding a goby shrimp pair. I had one in the same size tank and it was a pita. It couldn't find a home and was digging constantly and after a week and half had to get rid of him. The tank was a cloudy snow globe. Lol coral on the bottom didnt like it to much. Link to comment

Spiderguardnano Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 CUC crew has arrived and has everybody mentioned there really is 1000 dwarf in the bag i also added my first few zoas my question is should i add all of them in the tank or should i just add half? pictures soon to come when they open up Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I honestly give away or toss em. Some are dead and having one hundred ceriths is a little overboard. IMO Link to comment
