metrokat Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 So no brown fuzz yesterday, woke up and one of the colonies on the frag rack looked turd brown, had color and everything yesterday. Gone! This thing came out of no where covered it and killed it. Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Okay, I may have overreacted. I had dipped the colony in peroxide yesterday to deal with a tuft of bryopsis growing on the side of it. Seems it may have turned the colony brown which peroxide does do. Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 My fake Rabbit is once again, nibbling on the weakened bryopsis. IDK, maybe the peroxide makes it tastier by removing the green pigment - chlorophyll? Which might have a particularly nasty flavor in bryopsis. Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Sigh. Found an old picture of my old fuge. This is when it was featured in ReefBuilders 10 Quote Link to comment
kimberbee Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 If I ever end up with a fuge, it will look pretty like yours! Quote Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Oya? How about later when I turned it in to a doll house? Looks even more natural! omgomgomg My "Fuge" is a chunk of dying Chaeto. 2 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Looks even more natural! omgomgomg My "Fuge" is a chunk of dying Chaeto. Your tank is prolly low on dirty, you need much more dirty to make chaeto happy. Quote Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Your tank is prolly low on dirty, you need much more dirty to make chaeto happy. Yeah and my SPS colors are fading. I just took down my BRS reactor to try to dirty it up a bit, and bought three fish (Using that as an excuse) I might start feeding a mysis cube daily to get some dirt! I can't even get algae to grow on the glass! 1 Quote Link to comment

I can't even get algae to grow on the glass! What were you running in the reactor and why? The food is a good start, corals foods are good, SPS need small particle foods like reef roids.

I was running Carbon and GFO. I don't know why, just was to keep it "clean". I'm feeding oyster fest, marine snow, phytoplankton, etc. parameters are all on spec, I guess it's a bit to clean at 0,0.

Alex B Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Fuge looks awesome. I need to make mine look pretty. Right now its just a couple rocks and dragons breathe. 1 Quote Link to comment
Legendary Corals Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Sigh. Found an old picture of my old fuge. This is when it was featured in ReefBuilders I've often thought of setting up a macroalgae tank, this looks pretty nice! Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 KAT... wait so if you abscond to big ol Texis, what will you do with the tank?? We will cross that bridge when we come to it but imma cry either way. A move is never good for critters. Fuge looks awesome. I need to make mine look pretty. Right now its just a couple rocks and dragons breathe. Dragons breath looks good when it tumbles, put a small powerhead in there, I have a fountain pump I think or an old skimmer pump, then it really works and looks pretty I've often thought of setting up a macroalgae tank, this looks pretty nice! Thanks Darwin, it was a sweet little fuge. Then it went BOOM. Flatworms. Quote Link to comment
Acielot Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 We will cross that bridge when we come to it but imma cry either way. A move is never good for critters. Yep, I'm trying to postpone moving any crazy distance away until sometime that I want a break from reefing... So maybe never. 1 Quote Link to comment
hypostatic Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 When I've moved in NJ I've moved the tank a few times.... I'm never doing it again lol 1 Quote Link to comment

cnseekatz Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Such an inspirational macro tank / fuge. Hope you get it going again one of these days. Hey Kat, do you think that too much light can cause the "grapes" on Red Grape Caulerpa to turn green? I know that some red macros turn green when they're dying... Quote Link to comment

Hey Kat, do you think that too much light can cause the "grapes" on Red Grape Caulerpa to turn green? I know that some red macros turn green when they're dying... That's really bizarre. Are you sure that isn't green grape mooching off of red grape stems? Looks like standard green bubble algae to me Or this Quote Link to comment
