For the future, I liked Flux RX better. Instead of pills, they give you two scoopers and powder. I think I was slightly cheaper per serving as well.
I rarely put any meds in my tanks. I know lots of people use ChemiClean or whatever it's called for cyano.
This is my first use of them, and it's because bryopsis is pretty much unkillable without the use of fluconazole, it always comes back.
Not great no budge so far I’m going to give it 2 weeks since I just got my nitrate and phosphate up from 0 to 5 and .03 and doing microbacter 7 and clean then will end up buying Dino x if nothing changes. Is bryopsis something that is always in the tank and appears in the right condition or is it a hitch hiker?
Bring that phosphate up to .1 if you can. 0.03 is the error level of a Hanna ULR tester so you could be closer to 0. I had Dinos and added UV, MB7, and got my phosphates back up to 0.09. Also, someone suggested hanging a small sheet of filter floss in the tank and rinsing it a little bit before lights came on and a little bit before they turned off.
It's a hitchhiker, pray you never get any.
Yes you can't see it well in most pics, but in the sandbed Pic you can see it looks like a little fern, which is the best way to id bryopsis, even if it isn't, fluconazole works on hair algae too.
Satan went to taco bellHi @BristleWormHater, just saw a story about this on the local news...
'Your worst nightmare:' Poisonous fireworms spotted on Texas coast pack a sting
Poisonous fireworms were spotted along the Texas coast recently, with the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies documenting the unique sighting online.www.usatoday.com
I really can't figure out why trochus keep dying when my ceriths are doing fine.
Don't worry about your trip. Get a fish. Preferably get one that will eat pellets. I was gone for a total of 3 weeks this summer and only one of those weeks I had someone checking the tank. My tank was fine. Have someone come over every other day and feed the fish with pellets and you should be good to go. Or get an autofeeder and security camera and have someone you can call if something goes wrong. How long will you be away?The bryopsis is gone and flux treatment is over but gha has started to sprout up. Towards the end of the flux cycle the corals began to close a little I'm not sure if that's because of the flux or my extremely low nutrients which is my new problem. I think I might get a fish and expand the cuc this week, the tank desperately needs something to increase nitrate and phosphate but I've been hesitant to get a fish because I'm headed to Spain in January and I'll have to have someone look after it.
Heres some stuff I did, but never posted on here
I added 2 hermit crabs and two more cerith snails awhile ago.
One of my mushrooms melted, it was torn apart by the emerald crabs that were in the tank then it decided to release its foot and take hold in an unreachable crevice with hardly any light and melted
I also added 1 more trochus snail who died after 2 days and then the one that's lasted so long died too
9 days. I think it'll be fine I've got a buddy who has a tank he could look over it, not sure if he's going anywhere yet.
Yeah you should be fine. I went on a trip for two weeks and had a friend watch over the tank and feed it for 6 days so my ta k was alone for 8 days and it was fine. 3 fish and lots of coral survived.
