Is it ok to blow them with the turkey baster? How about scraping the rock? How should I do it?

Ok, I started from the middle an have tried 3 different spots finding one that the frag liked in terms of the frag opening...so I kind of did a light acclimatization for the first 3 days finishing on the higher place on the LR. The purple thing definitely blows of the LR with water movement...

Tank is 4 months old, readings are ph 8.2, ammonia 0, nitrites 0, nitrates 0. As for the color on the rocks it started looking brown and now is like a cardinal color purple/red. The glass and the sand has also been covered with that color of algae but I just cleaned the glass 2 days ago and...

Does this looks like a good placement for this Coral? Any advise?

So...should I be aware of it's growth? Should it be controlled? If so how?

Should I use an additive or supplement?

Just got this frag of Polyp as my 1st coral but never got it's kind. Please someone ID this for me and would appreciate any tips for it's care. The photo quality doesn't makes justice but believe me it's looking awesome and it's doing well since I got it 5 days ago.

I changed the lights to LED and I'm doing 79 f steady!

After the last 50% WC nitrates lowered to 0... I even added a polyp frag!

Lowered nitrates to 0 and just added a frag of star polyp... It's doing well all opened up and with brilliant colors...

Great! Los like a go ahead for me since you have a similar tank to mine and yours is doing good! Obviously I would have to lower those 20ppm but my concerns was the bioload since I already have 2 clowns a peppermint shrimp and some Nassarius snails.

What are your water parameters? I also have a 10 g FOWLR and I'm thinking of converting to a reef but I'm having problems with nitrates... I have managed to lower them to 20 ppm but everyone is telling me that the pair of clowns that I have are to much bioload for a 10 g...

Update I just saw how the hermit eats the algae from the LR leaving those white spots as no algae was let behind...

How is it going with the Biodigest?

Just did another 50% WC and Nitrates dropped to 20 ppm...the only things that I did differently is that I brought a powerhead and blew away from the LR all the debris and that I used Live Water that I brought from the store instead of mixing it myself...

Up to know I don't have Any algae problems and the tank is been running for almost 3 months now...this week, after installing the led lights, some dark purple-blackish spots have appeared all over the sand...also,last week a pair of red spots appeared on the glass and I cleaned them with the...

Just tested the distilled water JIC and it's clean

Have been using distilled bottled water but I havnt tested it...I was convinced that I was overfeeding and changed the routine but I havnt seen any change

Tank is been running for 2 months now isn't it suppose to be cycled yet?

Tank is cycled... My parameters are ammonia 0, ph 8.2, nitrites 0, nitrates 40 ppm... Nitrates are a bit high would the shrooms make it with 40 ppm? I'm trying as hard as I can to lower the level nut the PWC and 50% PWC doesn't seems to work even a bit...

(6) 1 watt daylight and (3) 1 watt lunar light whit a potency of 450 lumens

Update! I'm still doing PWC weekly and have done a 50% and nothing... I still in 40 ppm... Is there anything else I could do??

I just got a Marineland Double Bright Led light for my 10g FOWLR... Could it be ok to ad some shrooms with this lightning and tank size? This lights look pretty bright in this small tank but I'm a rookie. Please advise!

I added live sand and bacteria and left it for a week then added cured live for like two weeks then I added two clowns to help on my cycling and that it's been almost 4 weeks from that point. I have been adding bacteria as indicated on the instructions on a weekly basis. 2 weeks ago I started...

No but this happened the morning before I added a Peppermint Shrimp and a Red Legged Hermit Crab...Could it be the hermit eating the algae? He seems to like that LR. BTW I noticed this morning that green algae is starting to grow on top of the white stains
