Squared Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 What's crossed out is what I already have, and a big blenny such a lawnmower may put too much bioload on my tank. Something to eat GHA is great, but I still need to find the source of it. Link to comment

Something to eat GHA is great, but I still need to find the source of it. This is the proper approach methinks...nice! Link to comment
Squared Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 cept i have no idea what's causing it...could it be detritus in between the rocks? I think I need a better cuc...I only have a couple of snails and a hermit. Link to comment
yoshii Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Chitons will destroy that GHA in no time Link to comment
Squared Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 nitrate: 0 ppm phosphate: .25 ppm kh: 8 dkh calcium: 360 ppm ph: 7.8 ph tested about 18 min. after lights went on phosphate dropped a little bit kh and calcium have always been low, i need to start a dosing regimine i guess. also, i have some red bubble algea now. awsome.

yoshii Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Woah, need to get those phosphates down! All the other levels I would suggest raising Link to comment
Squared Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 Just googled it...i gues you are right. it was at 1 ppm before, so i guess the chemipure elite is working . Link to comment
yoshii Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 1? woahh you dosing phosphate or something? xD Maybe it's your food? Or sand, rock, something? That's insane Link to comment
Squared Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 i feed every 2-3 days. i blame all the gunk in my ACs. i think they are pretty clean now, though. Can phosphate kill shrimp? Also, withought any rock in my fuge, my cheato has started to tumble. Link to comment
Squared Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 I just got back from the reef meeting. I didn't go crazy with coral buying, due to lack of funds and my tank with algea problems, but I did get some pretty nice pieces: superman monti: ricordia: blueish palys: green slimer acro: Link to comment
19jeffro83 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Nice monti! I've been looking for a superman. Another thing that may help with your phosphates is to rinse frozen foods before feeding to your tank. Also do you have a mag test? If not its a great investment. Try to raise your mag slowly to like 1400 or so as well to fight the gha. Link to comment
Squared Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 I can't afford a mag. test kit, but I go to my LFS weekly to test it. Have you heard of mag. killing inverts? Link to comment
