19jeffro83 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Not at all maybe a lack of it. I used mag and waiting till my tank matured To rid my tank of gha. Most tanks go though algae cycles and I believe if someone continues to add more bioload during these times it prolongs it. I think waiting it out and keeping up what you've been doing as far as water changes go and minimal feeding like you are. Maybe pick up a turbo or trochis snail or two. Remove larger clumps by hand and soon enough with some patients your tank will clear up good. Link to comment
Squared Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 I was going to buy a turbo, but I got a little impatient (corals were getting cold) so I left. But I'm sure I'll back soon. I want to try to obtain chitons. Link to comment
19jeffro83 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I don't know much about them except I think there pretty cool. Don't they get quite large? Link to comment
Squared Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 I'm not sure. Probaly not that big. I asked my LFS to get me some, but they havn't come through yet. When I get more money, I may have to order from reef cleaners or something. Link to comment
Squared Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Ph rose a bit. It is between 8.3-8.4. Salinity was 1.024 when I tested this morning. I set my lights on a new cycle: x2 T5's @ 9:00 am-6:00 pm x2 T5's @ 10:00 am-7:00 pm Fuge light @ 8:00 pm- 8:00 am Link to comment

d9hp Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 That's a sweet toadstool. I really like your new additions. That green slimer will grow super fast! Link to comment
Squared Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 That's a sweet toadstool. I really like your new additions. That green slimer will grow super fast! I had a good expierence with them in my 12g under pcs. So I wonder how fast it will grow with t5s. the arch looks cool! I want those clove polyps to grow over the putty I had to use to keep it in place. When it does grow over, it will look even better. Link to comment
Squared Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 I have a white HH sponge growin under the arch. Can someone give me a possitive ID? you can see it in the pic of the arch. Link to comment

tymanzz Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Does the surface skimmer help a lot? Link to comment
Squared Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 I think so. Parts of the water that weren't skimmed had stuff on the surface (this was do to koralia positioning). I asked my LFS again to get me some chitons. But for now I got 3 small turbo snails, as well as 2 nassaurius snails. Link to comment
Squared Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Sandbed for acans. Lets hope my shrimp stays outa this part of the sand . Another view of the sandbed. And a new FTS: There is still a major algea problem, and I think I am going to get some kind of reactor when I can afford it. Link to comment
