Holy growth batman!

Thin that stuff out so it grows faster again and consumes more nutrients!

And dose Iron!

Not a high demand for elements currently, so I wasnt expecting much drop. 4ml a day is close to what I was expecting.

It's the GHA and phosphates that have given me a swift kick in the rear for laying out for so long. Now I have exponentially more work to remove it.

I was considering this as part of my work for my week off next week. I've heard harvesting spurs growth so it will absorb more nutrients. Hopefully some locals need chaeto. I have about 3 bags full. (Sing it like the little black sheep)

GHA or the return of bryposis? I'm considering a small dose of fluconazole.

I don't see anything in this picture that makes me think Bryopsis. Either a wire algae or GHA imo.

I love it when corals do my job for me... I'm not sure what made the algae grow on my elkhorn, but the elk horn is fighting back. Looks like it won.

At least 2 months in display eating nothing but pods and whatever else I can't see... I think she's just fine, nice round stomach. Should have grabbed my yellow safety glasses for a filter. Her tail is starting to get a hint of red.

Guess who has healed up and looks to be growing back together already.

Oh and this is the best picture I think I've gotten of my snake eyes acan. All 3 colors are visible.

With the tariffs placed on Chinese motors in these, I think the price is going to jump....

I really need to pull that GHA. Bonnie and Clyde have taken up residence. I have to take the picture from the couch, if I go to the tank they think they are going to be fed. Greedy pigs. Really the algae isn't all that bad. That stuff on the sand will come out really easy, and I'll scrub some of the rocks. The fuge and GFO combination seems to be the trick to keeping phosphates down tho. I need to order more ROX carbon and GFO. Oh, I have new goodies in, I'll show you later. (Not coral, or fish.)
