How old is the tank now Marty? For most of my tanks, the order of algae went diatoms, then green hair algae, then cyano. All went away after I think...
This is what I was likely going to suggest as well. I use a cheap 1W LED fixture over my 46BF and would suggest using something similar.
I know; worse than my wife ;D
Well what are your nitrate readings? FWIW, higher nitrates in a FOWLR are really not a concern. How much live rock do you have in the tank, and what...
For a FOWLR tank, lighting really doesn't matter. Just as long as it pleases you. What are the dimensions of your tank?
Awesome! How many pounds of rock is that? My guess is around 150 (or more), yet you still have so much room in the tank :)
Thank you so much OFK! The move was quite easy for me since I had the 125 setup and running for a couple weeks before the transfer. Plus the 55 did...
That thing is huge. I thought it looked big in the previous pictures...
+1 to what Cheryl said. Basically, it should be a month or even two before I fish is in that tank; definitely not 3 days! Cycling a tank takes time,...
Still haven't re-scaped yet; hope to do that tonight! I was busy yesterday making hangers for my new lighting. Anyways, I took this guy home last...
Very nice; congrats on the other soon to be new addition as well :)
+3 I use carbon in all of my tanks :)
I tried to find an id here: Nuisance Algae ID Guide But I did not see anything close. Bump for you.
I sold my Evo IX to buy my house :( It was worth it though.
I might be completely mis-reading what you are asking, but I would say it just means they are from the Red Sea :confused: Some fish have unique...
That would be my suggestion as well, but I think the OP already has one IIRC. I really think your return pump needs to be throttled down as your...
Beautiful clowns, and the stand is coming out very nice! I would leave the Molly. They are actually good for a reef tank IMO, as they will pick at...
Your numbers are fine now :) No need to change anything at all my friend. Glad you are now able to accurately measure salinity (well actually...
FYI, they make coral fragging kits that you can get at any online aquarium vendor. Usually around $50-70 and include everything you should need to...
Thanks Vinny. I haven't been on the past couple days, so just seeing this now. I certainly did mean to sound as if I was trying to call out someone...
