I didn't take a FTS; I was taking pics of my 100 gallon and just took this lone picture. I'll take one later today. Surprisingly, almost all of the Caulerpa is gone. 12 minutes ago, WV Reefer said: Sooo pretty. I always love the “crispness” of this tank. —is that a word? 🤔 😊 Thank you! It's sooo neglected, but it doesn't seem to mind. With no fish in it, it doesn't require a lot of attention. Someday I'll step it up a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 As promised: FTS: 06/07/18 The right side. You can kind of see my 100 gallon off the right corner. I got these awhile back from Aquarium Depot. Someday I'll have to get them on the rock. Currently this tank houses my RFAs and some macro. Eventually I'd like a couple gorgonians, and maybe a sponge or two. And definitely a few fish. Someday. 7 Quote Link to comment

I'd also love to see some significant coralline growing before I get some. Although I'm now able to feed it phyto without causing weird algae blooms. I still get some cyano, but it's nothing too bad. 3 Quote Link to comment

Sharbuckle Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Where did all the caulerpa go? Needs more greenery. Whats the pink stuff? Quote Link to comment

I'm not really sure where the Caulerpa went. There are just a couple of leaves left in this tank. Yeah, I agree, more green algae. I got a bunch of it growing in my 100 gallon. Seems to do well in that tank. The pink stuff was some freebie Red Gracilaria that I got (can't remember exactly where). It has lost its "red" color, but still seems to do quite well in this tank. I'm kind of liking how it wants to grow up. Funny thing is that it looks more red in my 100 gallon (with the exact same lighting). Quote Link to comment

Tons of it one half of the year, then it slows down to next to nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 It's been awhile since I've tested nutrients so I thought I'd check: Nitrate) less than 5ppm, Salifert using the low range method Phosphorous) 0ppb, Hanna ULR Phosphorus Checker Quote Link to comment

I actually noticed them on the 13th of this month (when I received my black light flashlight). TBH, many of these were so small, that I thought the smaller ones were some kind of hydroid that fluoresced. However, since that time, they have grown slightly, and now I believe that they are all RFA babies. You really don't notice them without the UV light. But they light up big time when you shine the flashlight on them (with the other lights off). 4 1 Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 The tank isn't looking all that great, but here's a video of a what I thought was a RFA giving birth. However I might have to agree with @SeaFurn who proposed that it could just be expelling non-viable eggs. 2 Quote Link to comment

seabass Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 I had to clean the sand bed, so I removed the baby RFAs. Shot with UV flashlight. Baby RFAs in cookie jar. Cleaned. Ready for LA order. 3 Quote Link to comment
