Let's see your FRIDAY FTS!! Post 'em here!

[Soren]

75-gallon FOWLR is not so full anymore now while I transfer down to my basement to make room for my 125-125 build.

Just brought this home last night. Not much to look at now but give me a couple weeks. What's the best at removing stubborn coralline algae on acrylic?

Citric acid or Bar Keeper's Friend cleaner (oxalic acid) work well, though I have only personal experience with glass tanks and not acrylic. Citric acid can be added to tap water to fill the tank to soak with water flow. Bar Keeper's Friend works well on a sponge for scrubbing. Using a soft sponge should keep from scratching the acrylic.

soak in water with vinegar with powerheads going. Gee, I'm not the only one who feeds cats on tables! Lol's. Cute kitties!

+1, though I've read that citric acid is more effective and less harmful to equipment than vinegar (acetic acid).

I'm using both of those. Citric acid has done great on most everything but the hard encrusted algae. That I'm using Bar Keeper's friend, a brush and elbow grease. It's coming along slowly but surely. Thanks for the advice though.

initially set up to keep the LR alive and thriving while I finish my 120 build. Then a good friend on here threw some corals (frags) my way. So of course I had to get a fish to keep nutrients present. And here we are lol.

Plan is to have this moved over in the next three months.

Here you go! Tank just turned 2 years old. Super happy with how things have progressed, and great to have it during the pandemic to make being home a bit more exciting!

So not exactly a FTS as I'm in the middle of transferring to a new tank after a seam split. What was a 90 is now a 75.

Just the biggest rocks moved so far. Still a ways to go....
