The filter sock grabs out a decent amount of the stuff that chaeto would feed on. No food, no algae growth.
You target feed by sucking up mysis or whatever in a turkey baster and basically placing food on those tentacles. Favia won't always require...
Favia can be anywhere from ultra high lighting (goniastrea) to very low lighting (favia), and heavy flow to near 0 flow. So, try mid-low in the tank,...
I would consider one of the blennies from the genus meiacanthus (they swim, unlike some of the others that perch), another fairy wrasse of the same...
I just went and took a look, and it seems to have that whirl. So, is a red planet supposed to be a hyacinthus? lol
I was just mentioning it since it's kinda the same concept as using Xenia in a fuge. It would scare the heck out of me too depending on the tank;...
Yeah, actually, Anthony Calfo wrote in the Book of Coral Propagation another...unique...idea along those same lines. Create a raceway - a very long,...
Yes. It's also not the best spectrum to promote macroalgae growth; you really want something in the 4500 - 6500k range.
You probably do need special bracing if you're not right on the concrete with that tank.
Er, quite a few. Ask @ reefcleaners.org, he'll build you a whole custom clean up crew.
Reefcleaners.org is where you go to get some of John's snails. His name on the forum is johnmaloney.
It needs low (nearly zero) flow, low lighting (sandbed strength), and it has to be vertical (they don't grow horizontally in the wild).
I'm gonna agree with 2in10 here, and say it's likely an oxygen issue.
I'm chill right where I am, TYVM. Just drinking some earl grey. ;D
You could always take a couple drops, mix with an ounce of RO water, and test it for mag with a kit. That way, you'd be sure.
It may very well have some mag: "In addition to supplying highly concentrated calcium and carbonate alkalinity required for calcification, B-Ionic...
The sixline is likely picking off pods and things it sees on/around the coral. How is the flow in that area? Decently high to the lights?
Your pH goes....up...at night? Usually it dips down a bit...
It came up with hyacinthus at an 85% match (the factors that weren't matched were branch diameter, which I put in unknown for, and corallite shape,...
Have you tried the acro ID guide? It may help, at least to narrow it down a bit.
