Arce Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Sand is coming out. Over this dirtiness. Idk how people keep long term tanks without sumps or AIOs, this has gotten on my nerves and the tanks only been up 7-ish months. SPS are doing great though, good growth and decent color on most. The blue stags gotten a green hue, almost a seafoam color, have a feeling it has to do with nutrient levels / lighting. 1 Quote Link to comment

Purchased solid blue but in my tank is a blue/green. I think the source tank was extremely low nutrients. 1 Quote Link to comment

I think the source tank was extremely low nutrients. Yea thats what i assumed as well since my nutrients are probably high (even though i dont test the large amounts of algae growth dictate that). 1 Quote Link to comment
