1st 14 gal bio

[Luckysfrags]

Get a green emerald crab. They love bubble algae. I have two in my 29 bio and they never touch my corals. Some of the best members of your tanks clean up crew

You also never know my emerald went rouge on me. Back to the lfs he went.

 

[Luckysfrags]

Yea I've heard stories about emeralds going after cracks but I've had about a dozen green emeralds and I've never had any attack my corals. It is a luck of the draw.

 

[Joey Horvath]

Whats the dark red algae?

 

[Luckysfrags]

Coralline algae.

 

[Joey Horvath]

I thought that was the pink algae

 

[kjboer7]

Lots of different shades.

does anyone change there water currents. Right now i only have my 250 power head go on at night cause it seems like too much movement for some of the corals all day. Could that be bad? Its only day two of me doing it.

 

[Beengirl]

A 250 isn't too much flow for the corals all day. The ocean has way more current than that. They can handle it. Reefers typically have their PHs on all the time.
