SomethingIsFishy Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Got a video of the worst of the algae... Will upload and post when I can get on WIFI (don't wanna use too much data). Link to comment
SomethingIsFishy Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Been reading and I am worried it's Dino... ? Not sure if the link will work... Removed the rock that is affected the worst... I do want to reuse the rock because it's a super cool shape with lots of caves, fortunately there is nothing important attached to it... Link to comment
SomethingIsFishy Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 On the positive side, all of the corals look great... Link to comment
SomethingIsFishy Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Decided to add 5 smaller hermits earlier this week. They've already made a dent in the algae... Added a new frag tonite, will get pics tomorrow... Link to comment
vlangel Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 My hermits do an awesome job in my coral tank. Hermits are not safe with seahorses but I miss the valuable service they perform reducing algae. Link to comment
SomethingIsFishy Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 No seahorses in this tank... I'm starting with the basics... Occelaris clown pair and possibly a goby... Doing a wc tonite, so prolly won't get any pics unless the new corals decide to open before the lights go out... Link to comment
acrab78 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Add some snails for sure... Astrea snails are great as are stomatellas and even small turbos.. Great algae eaters. Turbos do get big though... I would start with 8 or so and give it a while... Link to comment
SomethingIsFishy Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Will do! Hopefully I have enough empty shells to keep the hermits from killing the snails... Link to comment
CronicReefer Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Will do! Hopefully I have enough empty shells to keep the hermits from killing the snails... The secret is to get snails bigger than your hermits like trochus or turban. They generally kill snails because they think their shell will fit them best out of everyone else's in the tank.

SomethingIsFishy Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 Got a $25 gift card for Home Depot... I think I should be able to put a screen top together with that, then I can replace the jumper. Thankfully the other clown doesn't seem to be interested in carpet surfing... Link to comment

SomethingIsFishy Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Successfully moved the tank from the bedroom to the living room. Everything opened back up right away and the clowns are swimming around like nothing happened... ? Link to comment
reefernanoman Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Nice start and tank. Good luck. Successfully moved the tank from the bedroom to the living room. Everything opened back up right away and the clowns are swimming around like nothing happened... CooI. Clowns are bold fish. Link to comment
vlangel Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I am catching back up with your thread. Sorry about the carpet surfer but the clowns you have are nice. Good job on the top. Link to comment
