;Facepalm Not dinosaurs!

Yep. I got rid of the slimy dinos with a lot of help, and now have the less toxic but harder to get rid of kind. There is something called macroalgae crowding and silicate dosing that I am going to try

Yes. The good guys triumph over the bad. I have read a lot about that too.

I've heard GHA is very good at keeping unwanted pest algaes out of your tank... only problem is your tank looks like this.

That's why I say a pristine sandbed is overrated.

Y'all @najer is having some rtn. Not cool. Let's send some good vibes across the pond!

I have some odd algae starting to grow in the Menagerie... maybe time for another WC and scrub it off if I can. Ember refuses to eat algae from rock, she prefers brine shrimp and algae flakes.

Oh, no! He has a beautiful reef. I will be sending all the good juju I got

 

[SashimiTurtle]

I got all bad juju right now... my reef looks like carp detritus.

I have a lot more reading to do about it. I would really like to get to a stasis and be able to enjoy this danged tank

Let's see a FTS.

New clownfish is laying on bottom breathing heavy, this normal for acclimation? Never seen this before. Temp is 77.8 salinity 1.025/1.024

@Why-Me Do you have fish yet???? Pics?

I'd be concerned.

 

[Katrina71]

Is it red around the gills?

 

[Why-Me]

No good pics but couple quick ones while acclimating before being dropped in.

 

[Why-Me]

Is it red around the gills?

really hard to tell right now

 

[Katrina71]

How do the other 2 look in the DT?

 

[Why-Me]

The striped blenny is fine.
The blackline didn't move, stuck to the backglass, in a daze. He's now snapped out of it, kind of.
BUT the clownfish just isn't doing well though.
My daughter just got off the bus she's upset but I told her one way or another she'll have her clownfish to go with Coco.

 

[Katrina71]

Give the clown time. Fingers crossed.
