Soooo I took the plunge. I started Vibrant. I have been battling what I think it golden algae soon after my rock matured. I am starting out at a dose of 2ml per week to see if that can help me get ahead of it. My SPS has been kind of hit or miss. A lot of it started growing and I had a couple STN and 1 RTN on me for no apparent reason. The tank is still really young so I am not super concerned with chasing down the cause. I am also thinking about incorporating a skimmer, but I can't find one that people love for this tank. I need to update some pictures as I have brought my hammer back from being bleached and also the birdsnest that completely bleached on me is beginning to color up. Thus, I think things are going well overall.
. Tank has been maturing nicely seeing coraline on the back wall and powerhead. Actually had to clean the powerhead and remove it. Finally seeing speckles on the rocks. Super excited about this. My TCK Ultimate Stag RTNed on my. But, still has some patches I will try and save. Also, my birds nest completely bleached on my, but is making a comeback and has some pigment showing now. So not everything has been as expected, but loving the seeing the tank mature.
