Bowen1022 Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 Teeny what is your dosing regiment for the hair algae. Would really like to hear any observations you have as far as any condition,change of the appearance of the algae or if you're noticing anything. Man I think the tank looks great. I hope you get everything straightened out that's bothering you. Nice looking lagoon tank Thanks guys! I think it will all be straightened out here shortly. I have to keep in mind that the tank if fairly new too so that plays in a bit. pgr I wish you did those daily updates still, I enjoyed them lol. Yes to both. I'm dosing NoPox at a fairly low level. I've been posting status and progress pics in my 10g thread. I'm dosing 1ml twice a week. It hasn't been a miracle cure but the growth has definitely slowed down Good to know. Thanks again teeny!

Droy008 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Just looking at your notes. Aour alk should drop with calcium uptake. You have enough sps in there to see a noticeable drop. You may need to up your 2 part dosing. As for your PH unless it's around 7, dont worry about it. If it continues to be low, you need to find a way to increase co2 exchange. That can be done with a skimmer, or more surface agitation via powerhead. Most people notice a drop in ph during the winter because we keep our homes all closed up, usually because it's cold outside. The air in your home may now contain more co2 in it than it does in the summer months. Some people have gone as far as to run a piece of airline to the outside of their homes to feed their skimmer, in order to keep their ph up. Link to comment

I actually reduced my 2 part from 10 to try to get alk down as I have really low nutrients right now so I dont want to lose any pieces. Once I notice it to start to drop below 7.5 I will probably increase. Hopefully calcium starts being used up once it and magnesium drop to acceptable ranges. From what Ive read uptake can decrease if it is too high. Some new photos coming in a bit! Link to comment

cherokee2871 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Hey question when you were dosing np pro where were you seeing the orange slime? It has recently showed up on my rocks all over not thick just a light covering but noticeable. It may just be my ugly phase, I have nothing on the sand. I have no coralline algae growth at all and it has been seeded. I stopped dosing np pro and am currently running chemipure blue in the sump to get my phosphates down. Let me know your thoughts brother, Link to comment

Let me know your thoughts brother, It never happened to my rocks only my sandbed. It started all over but now it is only happening behind some rocks. I just stir it up every day. Yours is probably ugly stage cyano at least that would be my guess. I would just keep doing what you are doing and also test for NO3 and PO4 just to make sure they arent sky high. But ugly stage is what I would suspect first. Link to comment

Bowen1022 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 How many watts is your Jager? I bought a 100w thinking I could get it to work sadly way too big. Hi! It is only 50w though I keep my apartment fairly warm so it doesnt have to work too hard. So far after 5 months it has been just fine Link to comment
