JBJ 20 gallon AIO reef tank

[LRT]

I honest thought I would see dinos again but just some film algae my pods are loving it

Its crazy how some of these algae and bacteria work. After last deep clean I was pretty much dino free and could literally see the cpl patches that I missed dieing off. All it took is me to stop paying attention and let phosphates 0 out. Came back with a ferocious force and completely took over in just a day or 2. Good thing is I've solved the riddle. I beat myself this last go around lol

Looking fresh and clean!

I am going to try to wash all my sand today as well.

I rinsed mine under tap water for a total of 125 times. Meaning I put all my sand in a 5 gallon bucket, filled it and moved it around with my hand and dumped it untill the water ran clear and the water stayed cleared after disturbing the sand. I get no more cloud storms in my display tank after rinising sand

Algae Identification

we sure have used this work example a lot lately :) hows updates Looking good, clean rocks and 100% algae free still. Corals still look a little irritated but unsure if related to the cleaning job. Im hopeful they’ll get better PE as they get settled in.

if you take a look on page 5 you can see my rip clean journey ! And I’m doing my first water change today ! My tank looks like it doesn’t need it but I’m gonna keep up on the cleaning so it doesn’t get bad again

Lots of people said pink diamond but they may change since they haven’t been open fully for 1 month since I was fighting dinos so who knows they may morph again

 

[Goaway]

Gobstoppers and speckled krackatoas. Not mine.


Yours just remind me of the kraks.

Those are gorgeous ! I got some new zoa frags and they have bright orange and greens and yellows can’t wait for them to open

These are pink diamonds. Yours looks nothing like them.

They are still pretty. Yours are better.

And it only cost me 5$ lol ! I still have the original frag it was apart of the colony but zoas were melting around it so the plug fell off I still have the rock with them on it and they frag

 

[Goaway]

That is a good deal! I sure hope the open back up. My magician palythoa were closed for over 2 months until the started to give a peek. Had to clean aglae off of them several times.
They were munched on by my ex-emporer angel.

 

[shadow_k]

great deals hah they are fully open now just waiting for them to color up again ! I’ll take tons of pics !

 

[Goaway]

Thats the fun part! The pictures.
Looks like the skirts are still coloring up.
