Are you currently struggling with anything...

[Stephen Reed]

GHA out break after moving my tank to a new house, vibrant is slowing doing its thing tho.

 

[Stephen Reed]

Lose color then stn/rtn some from the base, some from the tips.

Lights a AI Prime 10 inches off waterline running a modified AB+. I dont think lighting is the issue. People running the same light over the nuvo have success with sps running both less light and more light than me.

I've literally been over everything and the icp was a last ditch effort to find something.

Have you tried running carbon?

 

[MixedFruitBasket]

Yes. I’m struggling with convincing vendors and store owners to take my money by ordering the corals I’m looking for.

Day #5 of not being able to get my truck started - I am so lost on what the issue might be.

Yea I run carbon. My tanks all messed up. I have a thread detailing my issues if you're interested.

I struggle with taking pictures with all the blue light

If you get a coral camera lens it will help they sell a ton on eBay for your phone

Finding someone who is reliable to feed my tank when I go away for work. I came home this last week to my return pump dry running with a salinity of 1.030 because my pet sitter didn't top off on schedule (I haven't been able to afford an ATO system) He still fed on schedule, which led to high nutrients, and a massive hair algae bloom in turn.

I've currently been trying to deal with the hair algae, but my lawnmower blenny would rather jump at his own shadow than eat (he is slowly chipping away at it, I'm just impatient, and he hangs out on my zoos) My tank isn't large enough for an urchin so tonight is the scrub-ocalypse for the worst rocks.

Do you have a dosing pump with a spare head you could use as an "ato" I have an ato but use a spare dos head to replace 3.5 gallons a day out of my ato. My tank evaporates 5 gallons a day but that makes it so I only have to top off my resivor once every couple weeks

I'm having an issue with apex fusion.it tells me there is an update. I update it then 3 days later it will tell me there is an update and wants me to put the old one back in.
Anyone else having this issue

Winter.

Cyano

I don't get it. I was at 0 nitrate/phosphate, had cyano. Went up to 2 ppm nitrate/Phosphate maybe 0.015, still cyano. Only on the sand. I don't get what this thing is using to keep living.

Ha! I have a tank that only has one BTA in it and some live rock (long story). I only directly feed the Anemone once a week and the Cyano is STILL living! Stuff is dang hard to kill.

I don't at the moment - I'm pretty new to the reefing hobby , and before I went out of town everything was stable - I have glass lids on both the display and the sump, so that reduces my evaporation pretty significantly - I lose around a gallon a week, and top off every other day when I feed the tank. I did ask for an ATO system for Christmas, so hopefully I'll get that, and be able to automate that part of my routine.

Try upping your flow a bit cyano hates good flow

Hopefully you get it or you could look into a diy gravity ato I know I've seen them around before but have no first had experience

I do only have one mp40... thought about adding another since turning this one up still leaves some dead spots..

I was doing a 25% water change every other week...didn't have cyano but also didn't have any nitrate reading and my corals were bleaching out. I started feeding more, dosing amino acids, and tapered off the water changes to once a month and corals are great, so is the cyano though.

Could also try smaller more frequent changes say 5% a week depending on tank size and corals a second powerhead is a good idea it will create a more random flow more flow and take load off of just the single pump
