Hi guys,
I have a biocube 14. It was set up about 2 months ago. My tank has been having a problem with red slime in one area of the sandbed. I dont use tap water, I use strictly nutri seawater for all water changes and bottles of water for topoffs. Lights are on 8 hours a time. I had one koralia nano pump but I just added another today. My current stock is 2 occelarris clownfish, 1 purple pseudo and 1 blue mandarin. I also have a variety of snails, hermits and 3 emerald crabs but for some reason my snails keep dying. My corals are all fine. I have a 2 head duncan with 2 baby heads popping out, pearl bubble, frogspawn, green goniopora, long polyp leather, blastomussa, a large green star polyp and a candy cane coral. Everybody is doing great but I never see tentacles at night is this normal? Also my duncan was open extremely large yesterday and today is now closed. My parameters are
ammonia -0
Nitrite - 0
nitrate - very close to 0
phosphate - .5-1.0
calcium - 520
ph - 8.0-8.2
In my biocube I took out the bioballs and I run aquaclear foam pads, carbon, chemi pure elite, purigen, phosban, fluval water polishing pads, and aquaclear biomax and ammonia remover.
