Day 30.
Only 3 fish, but lots of easy corals, copepods, some inverts and live rock. Plus a steady dosing routine of nitrification bacteria.
The "ugly" stage lasted less than a 4 days and I think I am most happiest with the growth of that patch of macroalgae which I am sure is ripping out the Nitrate and phosphate but is wiping out the pest algae.
The goni isn't thriving but a drop of manganese seems to be assisting now, and I should probably try and get the peppermint shrimp out now they took care of the aiptasia but are now free to harass the BTA. Which the Clowns are not impressed by.
Got the bacteria bloom taken care of!! 😮💨 added a air stone for 2 days and cleared right up! Now just hopping my hammers dont die, everything else's looks good tho!
How do you deal with cyano?
Walt (Starry eyed blenny) chilling with the zoas.
Any suggestions on getting rid of this bubble algae??
Dino battle moving into week 7, very frustrating. Not sure I am going to win.
new phase, algae😢
Wish this cyano would disappear
My last post referred to this patch of Caluerpa Racemosa which has grown from about 3 heads to this, in a month.
Then I realised it couldn't be seen in the video I posted. Here we commonly call this sea grapes (not the bubble version).
Hopefully, I can keep it from extending further down into the path of the alveopora but to fill out and grow up and across this live rock. It's one of the things growing in this tank that I like the most.
