stan Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Hey N-Reefers! I had a problem with Cyano in my tank.. big splotches mostly on the sand. Thanks to all the great info i get from the posts here, i rid myself of the problem. In a couple days in fact! All i did why buy a little Rio90 powerhead. Aimed it in the opposite direction of the general waterflow in the tank to create turbulence and all that red slime disappeared overnight. It's been 4 days and i havent seen any since. But now here's the problem... Ever since i installed the new PH my fighting conch has gone completely missing. Havent seen it at all. He was my most active invert grazing day and night. My immediate thought is this "clean" sand doesnt have enough algae/cyano/detritus for him to eat and went into hibernation. The sand isn't pure.. there still seems to be small bits of algae and what not dusted throughout the substrate. Does anyone concur or have another idea? Also, if this is the case, how do i get it out of hibernation? Link to comment
Fant Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 probably just hiding somewhere. Mine disappears every once in a while. Link to comment
stan Posted April 7, 2004 Author Share Posted April 7, 2004 You dont think with the new cleaner tank that i'm starving the guy do you? I've not heard of a need to ever feed a conch. Link to comment
