Claic's 30 Reef Revival: ~Growth Shots~ 1-3-2011

Nice actinic pics.

The algae is Bryopsis. Pluck it off with tweezers immediately. The most effective treatment is raising your Mg to 1600ppm to 2000ppm using Kent Tech-M. You need to raise your Mg no more than 100ppm per day to get to the needed level. You will most likely need to keep the elevated level for 2 to 4 weeks. Remove any as you find and as it dies. You will want to skim wet during this time , feed lightly, increase changes of GFO and carbon to weekly.

 

Will this hurt any of my coral?

Dear lord...just read up on what Bryopsis algae is....I want to shoot myself now...dang...

 

Uh oh!! Do they really eat clams?? The yellow eyed/kole tang?

He had an issue with his yellow eye kole trying to eat it about a month ago. In general, no.

 

Yeap and he only attacked the huge deresa clam. Didn't touch the tiny maxima but moved them both just in case.

 

You can see the new little heads here. They surround the mother head all around it.





My cap isn't growing at all. Any reason for it when all my other SPS is showing growth?

 

Some might fade for a little while but no real damage.

 

Great shots, congrats. Caps seem to grow at their own pace, color looks great, give it time.

 

Your an unfit parent? ;D

 

Psssshh must be because yours is growing LIKE CRAZY! At least my millepora took off...;D
