Figure I'd give an update on everything. It seems to be going great. I'm getting a good buildup of that great ol purple on the back of the tank just keep looking for good corals to color this up. So here's a mini photo dump torch
frogspawn
zoas and mr. anemone crab
green hairy mushroom

So I have what looks like gha on the sand bed, it was worse but I went dark for two days and did a water change and that seemed to kill it off. Any suggestions on how to get rid of it?

I have some popping up in mine too. I added phosguard and I'm cutting feeding and light period and increasing water changes. Also did a target attack with peroxide on one of my zoa frags I couldn't pull out because it wasn't opening all the way/getting strangled by it. Right now it seems localized on one rock, but I may go lights out a couple days if I start seeing a spread. I hate algae ? everything else is going so well.

What do you feed and how much/often? In general it comes down to finding/learning the balance between the nutrients you import and the nutrients you export. If your getting algae, your importing more than your filtration/maintenance can export.

 

[nanoreefz]

Yea sand dollar it's a pain in the rear! BigRed I'm only feeding every other, to every two days. I had done two days dark but never did a water change after that. LFS said that could be the reason why is because the nutrients stayed in the tank and weren't exported.

Well I can only assume this is some sort of algae, again

How do I get rid of it? Any different then gha?

Cyano, pretty much the same, but increased flow helps also

 

[DaveMc]

Boy does that look familiar lol. Yup, cyano

+1 BigRed

 

[nanoreefz]

Dang cyano again! Do you think maybe another power head in the other corner would help? Maybe my korelia 240 isn't doing it justice anymore?

Couldn't hurt, like Red said more flow will be a help for sure.

 

[nanoreefz]
