mpsti05 Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Deciding on whether or not to fight fire with fire and try vibrant at killing off the bubble algae before it turns into a plague. Mariaface had success with it killing bubble algae. Granted it's just a few here and there but on each rock. And I need to get some Zoas already... still have 5 frags in the sump that need to get mounted in the tank aswell 1 Quote Link to comment

I probably had a dozen or so here and there. 1 Quote Link to comment

mpsti05 Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Back from a mini vaca and no casualties. However I think I need a new heater. When I filled the tank up it took 80gallons and I use a Eheim jager 150w set at 79-80. And controlled by my apex which turns it on at 77 and off at 78. Heater is in the skimmer chamber of the sump and the temp probe is in the return section. Yesterday and today there have been some 4 degree temp swings over the course of a few hours then gradually works itself back up. Don't think the heater can keep up. So time for either a finnex 300w titanium heater and let the apex control it or upgrade to the 200w jager. Not sure which to go with 1 Quote Link to comment

mpsti05 Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 Orrrrrr the heater is fine and clogged filter socks were slowing the flow through the sump too much... hmmmm my bad. Hopefully that's what it was 1 Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I change mine once a week but in in the beginning it was every 3 days Quote Link to comment
mpsti05 Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 Had the doser off for 5 days... hmmm alk 7.4 (Hanna) cal 500 (Red Sea) mag 1500 (salifert) ive been using red sea pro salt for awhile now. Don't know why the cal is so high. I'm gonna turn the alk back on and try and bump that up to 7.8-8 ish. Granted all I have is small frags in my tank and the clam so obviously nothings using it up yet. Need some more sticks and zoo's want me some sunny d's and fruit loops Also did a water change yesterday, always do a 5gal change on sat or Sunday. And replaced carbon/gfo and changed the socks and flipped the ball of cheato over. 3 Quote Link to comment

mpsti05 Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Well Apex's heartbeat feature is pretty cool. Home internet is down so it texts me saying that it's currently disconnected. Myagi and pc rainbow didn't make it I'm on a bit of a stay-cation for the next 12 days so I'm hoping to find some locals with sunny d's and fruit loops and some other z's and probably go out and get some more coral. Still continues with vibrant trying to kill off the bubble algae. Quote Link to comment
mpsti05 Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Well vibrant isn't working on the bubble algae yet as it's growing in the places it's popped up. I've been doing the normal "clean tank" dose maybe I'll switch to the double. Tested tonight. Sg 1.026, Kh 8.9 and cal 445. Lowered the alk dose to try to stay close to 8. The katapora looks pretty awesome by far the nices piece in my tank even though I don't have many. Greens/purple/blues, picked up some sunny d's and fruit loops. An orange acan and a small ricordia. 1 Quote Link to comment
mpsti05 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 Clam looked a bit un happy sat, moved him Sunday and did a water change. Came home from work yesterday and it was gone... **** Quote Link to comment
