TheRope Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 Welp so this whole time ive been using sand that was not good. Grains too large allowing algae to dig their spores in deep and all kinds of nasty stuff get trapped in it... soooo it is time to enter the realm of bare bottom reefing (somebody pray for me) maybe ill carpet the floor with green star polyp for compensation... (background story... been ripping out wads of hair algae from my substrate for at least an hour a day and next day... its back. Dang satan spawn) XD there are solutions for everything the bare bottoming will occur tomorrow... now to figure out how to stand up frag plugs ???? 1 Quote Link to comment
vlangel Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 My container is bb. I don't have any coral on the floor however and my container is rock heavy...literally. Quote Link to comment

TheRope Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 P.s making this jar bare bottom and refragging all the corals so they can sit upright without sand was one of yhe hardest things ive ever done... but done it is and im hoping that things will go well 1 Quote Link to comment

I usually snip the stems off frag plugs to sit on the bottom. I'd suggest looking for a small magnetic frag rack too if you need something temporary for ones you have trouble with the plugs.

TheRope Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 Well heres an FTS post todays cleanup water change... also im trying out a higher area for my hammer. I was previously worried about him stinging my sps butttt hes about a 3 inch perimeter around him... plus he might be too busy fighting off my gsp Stuck a tiny frag of xenia on the top right back side of the glass XD lets see what happens. 2 Quote Link to comment

TheRope Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Porcelain molted for the 3rd time I decided im gonna order some red macro algae and some live phytoplankton from algae barn! Check them out if you havent theyre great 2 Quote Link to comment
TheRope Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 Day 3 of bare bottom and im impressed with the lack of algae on the glass and on the live rock, i think my sandbed was producing too much nitratea and the sandbed algae was spreading like wildfire, i was also forced to clean the glass every day... havent seen a spec of anything since... 3 Quote Link to comment
TheRope Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 TODAYS QUEST : GET MACROALGAE, AN ASTREA SNAIL AND SECURE THE LIVE ROCK SO IT STOPS SLIDING! (Its the onllllyyy downside to barebottom, ughhhhhhhhh) 2 Quote Link to comment
