SULFERHEAD93 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Update: ok so I've been dosing 1ml a day for 4 days the last 2 days I upped it to 1.5 ml a day. I also helped it out abit by taking out 2 dry rocks and scrubbing them. The H2O2 seems to be helping out a bit and keeping the growth on the sand bed at bay. Pics soon. Link to comment
SULFERHEAD93 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 So I've been having some troubles with escaping snails. Nerites are climbing out and falling onto the floor. Every morning I through em back in and they're fine. This leads to my question to screen or not to screen? Thoughts? It would ruin the look of the rimless tank. Should I just take the nerites out?

SULFERHEAD93 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hair Algae Battle Continued: so I,m on the eighth day of treating with H2O2 and its going allright. I upped the dosage to 2 ml a day but its still growing on the back wall and on the sand bed. there is nothing on any of the rocks. Oh and i also added a cleaner shrimp for the heck of it.

TristanC Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I would add a screen, just leave it one when you are either asleep or gone. As for the gha have you tried squirting it directly on the algae? Link to comment

SULFERHEAD93 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Good News!! I've finally gotten my first coral! Its just a small Duncan but it is my first coral I have ever owned. I've been staring at for awhile and it already looks lonely in the tank. I can now see why this hobby is so addicting. I'll post pics tomorrow. Link to comment
x3thelast Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Spot treat the areas with h2o2 after you remove some water. You'll see it bubble up right away. Once it touches water it'll dissipate away. Link to comment
SULFERHEAD93 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Update: new long tentacle flowerpot coral added today. continuing to dose H2O2 daily there is almost no algae on my back glass and still a little bit on the sand bed.

SULFERHEAD93 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Update 2/11/2013: This is quickly becoming my dads tank. The other day he brought home a fire shrimp and neon green/yellow short tentacle flowerpot. Today he brought home a bubble coral. Not that I'm complaining, It's great to have someone buy lots of frags for you! Anyway everything seems to be doing great and the clowns are eating newlife spectrum right out of my fingers.

SULFERHEAD93 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 How do you find the Red Cleaner? Is he always hiding? He has only been in the tank for a few days and seems to move around more every day. Otherwise he is hiding in the cave. Link to comment

SULFERHEAD93 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Looking good! Thanks! Today I went to my LFS and saw a green tip hammer with 7 heads and just had to have it. I got it for $60 which I think is a good deal. I'll post pics tomorrow when it's nice and comfortable in the tank. Link to comment
