I will try increasing phosphate one last time for 2 weeks and see how it goes. Knowing my luck, the tank will get a massive algae bloom. I got consistent-to-permanent bubbles when I used to dose Aquavitro eighth.four. It is technically their alk supplement, but it also raised my tank pH to >8.2 all the time - so I’m thinking higher pH? Since this tank is so small, maybe you can try Aquavitro calcification and eight.four combo for your 2-part dosing for a little bit? It’s a little pricey, but should still be roughly the same price as Red Sea Ca/Alk, or a tad bit more depending on your LFS. Aquavitro is a LFS-only brand, so they don’t have to try to compete with online pricing. and also slightly higher blue light spectrum seems to help in my experience. Your tank looks really warm right now, not sure if that’s just for photos or if that’s how you’ve been running this one. Quote Link to comment

I moved most of them to my big display tank as there weren't enough nutrients in this nano to support them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 Had to frag some zoas off two of frag racks. No room for them in the big tank so have to turn this tank into mini frag city.... 1 3 Quote Link to comment

This tank was one of the inspirations to go with the Evo. One of the local LSF even has a photo of your tank on their website lol https://fragbox.ca/fluval-sea-evo-marine-aquarium-kit-13-5-gallons/ 1 Quote Link to comment

But all that is also causing green cyano on the sandbed and coralline on the glass...hence no FTS And I can't believe they using my photo....without permission! hahahha 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Literally was giving them away for free but I gave him some easy SPS frags as testers. Promised him a walt disney frag once conditions are right. Slowly building up the nem stocks for my future clownfish harem tank =) 1 Quote Link to comment

mitten_reef Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 since I bumped your other tanks, may as well make it a trifecta.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment
