Nice ricordea! Is it actually kind of blu-ish green? Just wondering bc cameras can sometimes change colors slightly.

Supposed to be blue but it is a blue-green really cool looking

 

[Raleighfishnerd]

I really like how dynamic the scape is, it has lots of height and depth, makes it seem much bigger than it is!

 

[Raleighfishnerd]

Thanks yeah it def looks bigger in pictures

Got some ugly algae growing all over the place. Doing water changes every two days to clean it out.

 

[dingusplease]

Hmm... As I'm sure you know cut down on feeding, WCs, and always use RO. Hope it gets better!

Pictures of the algae?

 

[Raleighfishnerd]

No feedings really besides two pellets dropped in the other day as there is only one skunk cleaner and 3 hermit crabs and one Nass snail. Water changes every two to three days. Reef crystals and rodi water. I'll snap pic in the morning when I get to work. Looks like a small amount of hair algae and some other that has always shown up at the beginning of my young tanks

 

[Raleighfishnerd]

Just added two Astraea snails and they are already making short work of the algae

 

[Raleighfishnerd]

Here's a pic of the algae

 

[Raleighfishnerd]

This morning my trates were up over 40ppm back to back water changes brought it down between 0-5ppm. Hope it's not back up that high when I get to work Monday morning

 

[Raleighfishnerd]

So my nitrates stayed down over the weekend thankfully. Algae still there just not as bad. Can't wait for this tank to be stable

It always takes time, sounds like everything is doing well! How are the inhabitants doing?
