oysterk Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Hey, what do you guys think about using Chemipure Elite (carbon and some gfo) to keep down nutrients and phosphates? I've been having some hair algae trouble lately. Frag Rack photo Mini colony Acro, sunset monti, light colored Red Planet in back. Quote Link to comment
vlangel Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I had excellant luck with it. Unfortunately I had to stop when I got seahorses as they don't tolerate it for some reason. I never had anything react to using it though. 1 Quote Link to comment

vlangel Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I love longnose hawkfish. Their checkered bodies and then the way they perch on everything! I like that red gorg too. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, I've had him for a while now, it's really cool how hawkfish perch. I read somewhere they have no swim bladders, so they can only swim for very short periods. This guy also eats just about anything you put in front of his face too. 1 Quote Link to comment

oysterk Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 Some quick updates here, my tank went through a few nutrient problems, but the issue has been mostly resolved. Here's a new appleberry monti, and a JF grafted cap in the back, also my jedi mind trick, which browned out a little, but now it has it's color back. Also my new Harlequin Shrimp!
