Reefer_Buddha Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 i have some hair algae in my tank its mixed in with feather caulerpa on my lr. I just leave it there and trim it, it helps out my pod population along with a fuge. Nice lookin tank. I like the black sand no matter what other people say about it lookin like an ashtray. Good job.

tinyreef Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 it's not hair algae, it's maiden's hair. nice aquascaping, the black sand does look nice. gives a good contrast imo. Link to comment
deacon hemp Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Sweet tank acoustic,ive been watching this one since the start! I am starting up or sorry restarting one of my reefs with black sand from inspiration from this tank. Link to comment
Cyber Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 If it's hair algae, get a sally light foot. I have one in my 40gal and one in my 18gal. It kicks hairy ass in no time. It's a funny crab too. Cyber Link to comment
Acoustic Posted February 12, 2004 Author Share Posted February 12, 2004 Before you post it.......I know I have hair algae. But it is under control. Do I need to explain why? Link to comment
ifynanceu Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 i agree, it is a sweet setup...i used to use the black sand as well, but decided to go with the white this time...my next one will probably be the black again, just because it looks so clean (like yours) and really helps bring out the colors of the inverts, corals, and such...very nice!

evassj4 Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Love the blue shrooms Link to comment
Acoustic Posted February 12, 2004 Author Share Posted February 12, 2004 One of the Gobies.........Gobe Bryant.......tried to pull a Nemo and went into my overflow and got stuck in a valve. There is no overflow anymore because of this incident. In addition to excellent nutrient management this is why I have the hair algae under control: Link to comment
supernip Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 your xenia is beautiful everytime i see it. It gives your tank a softer, more natural look. It also has killer form. I love how it flows vertically on that rock. Way sexy. Link to comment
ninhsavestheday Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 that nudi is tizzit! but what happens when it dicides to blow.. oh.. acoustic, how are you dealing with your red alage problem? mines going crazy in my fuge and its spreading into my tank. Link to comment
skipnyc Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 I agree with everyone who likes the black sand, makes the tank look real sharp. Link to comment
Cyber Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 I love that nudi. I used to have one but it got sucked into the intake =(. Good choice!! Cyber Link to comment
Acoustic Posted February 12, 2004 Author Share Posted February 12, 2004 I don't have any red algae in my tank amazingly enough because that seems to be my turbo snails food of choice. When my nudibranch eats all of the algae I will give it to another member in need. Link to comment
mattie Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 wow acoustic i really like the look the black sand gives such color contrast in the pics Link to comment
OneOfDaZZZ Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 amazing! stunning! I love the fact that you have so little rock, and your tank looks soo natural & peaceful I wish I had a kitchen nook that I could do a 3 sided tank like that. Link to comment
IUnknown Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 What is the brand name of the black sand? Link to comment
