This last batch I am a bit disappointed in the color. LED's are my DSLR don't play nice, I'll have to figure that out.
Let me know when you do! It's really a struggle.
Detroit's oldest large LED tank! Est'd Jan 2005, went LED June 2009. 6' wide 130g reef, Sunbrite T10 LED tubes (3xGen 3 and 1xGen 1), mostly SPS, but chalices, other LPS, and a few softies too. http://pjr-reef.blogspot.com/
Growing well but fighting a wired brown algae on the sand bed that is very stubborn. Probably because the fish tank has been taking second fiddle to the Air tanks and fins. Headed to Key Largo soon so better get this under control before It becomes a problem !! Giving serious thought to changing to an all softy tank tho. Much less work would fit the lifestyle better !!
Just when I thought I was out she pulled me back in
Strange as I'm having same issue. Thought it was diatoms what with the newness of the tank. But this actually adheres to the fine sand. Clumping it together like. Reason I'm adding PhosGaurd.
On another note, your corals look wonderful Chuck! Still can't believe it's just little over a year old! Amazing!! But then again look who's running it
Your tank is gorgeous as always.
I had a brown algae start on my sand and then on my candy canes. Im getting ready to do another water change. I'm not sure what it is but both colonies are practically gonners and they were so huge and beautiful.
It's so frustrating. About ready to hang it up
I hand dosed kent mag concentrate last night. I am seeing a reduction to my surprise. Also added hermits and they are hard at it. Hopefully we will see it gone a week or so !
Thanks everyone. It has been a few days of doaseing the Kent Mag and am seeing a nice reduction of the mystery brown algae. Hag in there Vici. When your ready for some trumpet coral to replace the ones your loosening LMK
I think they have brown jelly but am not sure. It started with one colony just dropping over in 3 pieces. Then the neon started shriveling and the heads started dropping off. The tissue that is.
I should be in Farmington Monday if you are home. I need to take my granddaughter back home.
