Pests & Algae

Orange passion looking fuzzy today !

Just want to show you all a real life reef tank. Nobody on TikTok or IG would show their tank like this 😂. Sometimes life happens and your tank gets neglected. My tank is almost 4 years old. The Euphillia are growing like weeds which makes me happy

I am going to get back to regular maintenance. I need to buy a larger CUC and take care of this green hair algae. I will slowly get this tank looking much better.

Caught my clown cleaning his corner today. He was doing it more till he saw me recording and got embarrassed lol.

Please excuse the dirty tank! Went on vacation and came back to a huge cyano boom, it’s gotten way better over the past few days.

New system has been set up for one month now and everyone seems to be settling in Po4 reading low at 0.018 and nitrate sitting at 1.13ppm. Despite thus there's a few spots of hair algae managing to hang in there

Over growth

My snail is leaving this trail, anyone seen this before?

A lot have happened in 5 months, good and bad. But the tank have been stable so far. Its just the aptasia problem i have to adress soon.

Starting to make some progress on Cyano battle #2! Everyone happy and healthy otherwise. Got the flow dialed in to help, hope we’re on the upside of it now! 🤞🏻

Newish tank. Does this look like regular diatoms?

12 days away, fed an appropriate amount of pellets every day and nori every 3-4 days. Phosphate 0.08, nitrate 0 (locked up in algae I’m guessing), alk 6.8. Scraping produced full sheets of algae which I tried to scoop out but the reef mat did 1.6m the day I cleaned it. I also have an INKBIRD and WiFi control of the ac. Final photo is after 20L water change. I’ll do another in two days to lower phosphate and raise alk slowly (coral pro salt will rapidly raise alk if I go any quicker). In future, I’d put a fan on the ‘chiller’ outlet for the INKBIRD and sit it to blow over the sump. Fish and inverts fine, green torch is only half extended (phosphate?), maybe some others have less colour but the alveo is the happiest I’ve ever seen it.

What are these please help!

Picked up a CUC pack for my algae problem and it’s been 3 days. They are mowing it down. I can see my sandbed.
