Yes, I know I post too much. 😂 We still have 251 days left in this competition, so according to my calculations, at the rate of growth thus far this thread should be 44.82 pages long by then. 2 4 Quote Link to comment

tanacharison Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 This tank is amazing! Are you seeing a lot of competition from nuisance algae? 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I have like zero nuisance algae other than the cluster of bubble algae that came with my rock. But I barely have to clean the tank walls. I started dosing nitrates and phosphates (among other things) as well and the macroalgae have really taken off. May reduce dosing now because the growth could get out of control. 4 Quote Link to comment

Tigahboy Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Something new coming tomorrow! 🙌 Also decided to upgrade my return pump to a Sicce 0.5 after consulting with @bvck. Thanks again for your input! Should be arriving in a week or so. 4 Quote Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Looking good @Tigahboy! More livestock tomorrow? Have you noticed a pecking order with the fish, anyone getting picked on? 1 Quote Link to comment

Tigahboy Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 New addition update! Got some blue hypnea from Algaebarn. Looks like it took a beating during shipping (and lost color), but hoping it will bounce back. 🙏 (that's me praying; not thanking) 6 Quote Link to comment
