Dreichler Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Hey I'm brand new to the forum and joined because I'm not seeing the quality out of my tank that i used to, so i need some help. I currently have a JBJ 28 Intermediate (LEDs). I run chemo pure elite, perigean, do weekly water changes of 6 gallons, dose with eight.four and calcification, target feed corals 2-3 times a week, and my corals don't seem to be thriving anymore, just surviving and living, just getting along. I would like to see them thrive again and clean my tank up with a little help, so i have a couple questions. 1. Should i get the AI Hydra 26 with the controller and hanging fixture, or the Kessil A160WE. 2. I have brown algae patches that grow literally in 1-2 days, what can i do to get rid of that. 3. I have tiny green dot algae all over my glass, its hard as coraline, what can i do to remove it and stop it from growing back. 4. What filter/pump/etc. upgrades can i make to make any improvements. 5. should i begin dosing with fuel once a week, half the dosage amount. I have a colony of about 65 rasta zoa heads, a green transparent cynarina, fire and ice colony, 2 massive green bubble tip anemones, dragon soul favia, green stylo, an orange scoly, blastos, green toadstool, decent sized, about 6 branched green/purple frogspawn, and a bunch of mixed LPS and sofies colonies and frags. All my parameters are perfect and the tank has been up and running for about a year, but everything just doesn't seem to be doing as good as it used to be, and almost seems to be slowly getting worse, i don't want things to survive and live, i want them to thrive! All help is appreciated, Thanks! Connor. Link to comment

It has a special sharp blade that gets off any hard algae 4. Upgrade to cobalt 1200s, chemi pure blue. INTANK MEDIA BASKETS WILL DOUBLE YOUR FILTERATION! 5. Not necessarily. Your softies shouldn't need it if you keep up the water changes Link to comment

Your softies shouldn't need it if you keep up the water changes about the lighting, can you tell me why each of those would be better than the hydro or kessil, and from a price standpoint as well, and which model of each brand. And why chemo pure blue and not elite? i have a media basket that runs the chemipure and perigean and filter floss. and what will upgrading to cobalt 1200s do? would upgrading them be better than getting something like a vortech mp10 Link to comment

Chemi-pure blue has GFO (granular ferric oxide) in it, which absorbs phosphates and hence reduces algae. The Cobalt 1200s would increase the flow of your pumps in the back, but a MUCH BETTER choice is getting the InTank JNJ 28 media basket! Yep, I think upgrading them would be better and significantly cheaper than a Vortech, but a much better invest,net would be an InTank media basket. It'll double your FILTERATION for under $50 Link to comment
