skeletor Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 I'll start with some pics of my ghetto 20... I'm growing lots of GHA as well as these clumps of red algae. the stuff on the glass and returns is mostly macro algae.. This is before 2 hours of hair cutting: and after: -skeletor- Link to comment
Acoustic Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 Maybe this will make you feel better. If you are in the 6 month phase of your tank then I think it is normal. That's when mine exploded. Link to comment
mattie Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 2 weeks after the removal of my emerald crab the macro starts growing out of the LR Link to comment
supernip Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 gsp does not equal algae. but you got a yellow polyp problem though. Link to comment
surfy Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 My god skeletor! Your not kiding about your algae reef. The second pic is sure looking alot better than the first. Your tank is going to look pretty awsome once you get a handle on that damn algae. Look at all those beautiful clams:) and nice orange caps too. Link to comment
skeletor Posted October 26, 2003 Author Share Posted October 26, 2003 yeah surfy, your tanks put my algae farm to shame... thanks for the acro frags, they are looking very happy with great polyp extension. I glued them all on to one rock and it's 10" from the MH bulb. (the tips are starting to go a fluro green color :-) anyway, over 100 views and only 4 algae farms ? don't be ashamed of your algae growing skills, post some pics here folks.. -skeletor- Link to comment
surfy Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 LOL, cool good to hear they made it. Like I said they are supossed to be tri color so maybe in a month or two you will have some nice pieces going. Your frags are doing great too, I switched one 10k to a pure 03 so now everything looks awsome. Yeah lets see some more before and after pics of algae blooms in your tanks. Link to comment
Nishant3789 Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 skeletor doesn really look that much better in the 2nd pic.........whta kinda water are u useing? Link to comment
skeletor Posted October 26, 2003 Author Share Posted October 26, 2003 yeah thanks Nish.... I'm fighting a losing battle at the moment. my water is RO/DI made here with a 5 stage 100gpd RO/DI unit... phosphates and nitrates are 0... I'm cutting back on feeding and trying to pull the stuff every couple of days, the tuxedo urchins do a geat job but they haven't really made a dent in it yet... -skeletor- Link to comment
567a Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 welcome to the jungle about 6 weeks just keep pruning and siphoning it out, it isn't so bad at the moment (i'll post a now picture this afternoon) Link to comment
567a Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 here it is a few weeks later picture taken sat or sun nite.......slowly clearing up. Cyano is almost gone and there's just a few clumps of hair here and there. Gotta work on the white balance on my photos......it isn't nearly that blue in real life Link to comment

MrKrispy Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Looks like I am getting that emerald crab after all. Hair algae disappeared, several kinds of macro came up. My bubble algae farm: Link to comment
MrKrispy Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 This shroom rock has 3 kinds of macro for your enjoyment! Feather caulpera, red pube, and some straight green macro. Wheee! Link to comment
MrKrispy Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Lastly, more bubble algae, some weird green macro, and red turf. Cheers for diversity!!! Link to comment

skeletor Posted November 18, 2003 Author Share Posted November 18, 2003 just in time for christmas, it's red and green algae. Get some now for the holiday season, think of how nice it looks to decorate your tank in red and green. ok, maybe not.. is there no way to get rid of this stuff without a tang ? -skeletor- Link to comment
dsb1829 Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 My temporary tank while I was working on the main. No skimmer, 2 fish, 10g, and a bunch of hair algae. Link to comment
