First, that tank looks VERY clean! That's the look I strive for.

A few questions, how do you keep coralline growth off the back? Second is an observation and a question; I would expect to see more coralline growth at 14 months. Are you using IO and not dosing any calcium supplements?

When I had my 110g setup I didn’t get much coralline growth with IO salt until I dosed a two part calcium supplement. I dose it in my current NanoCube 24g and can see a huge difference in the amount of coralline already.

I use Oceanic salt mix. There is no coralline on the back because I scrape it off. The pumps are new, so they aren't covered in any algae, yet.

I have lots of coralline on the rocks, in fact, I started with 30 pounds of base rock and added 5 pounds of live rock. most of the coraline is a deep deep red, almost burgundy.

how do you keep the algae off the sand?

 

[Travis Savant]

Fighting Conch and good water quality.

 

[Steven0000]

do you feed you feed him anything?

 

[Travis Savant]

He eats the algae.

 

[Steven0000]

so you don't feed him anything extra?

 

[Travis Savant]

nope, there is enough algae so that once he gets from one side of the tank to the other, the algae has already grown back and he can turn around and eat some more lol, it;s an endless cycle.

It seems that the SPS in the right side has some RTN.

 

[Travis Savant]

Dosn't matter, sold it to a local. Had to make some room for all of this...

From that angle it even looks sexier! Lovin the clown, whats it hosting?

 

[Travis Savant]

It's hosting a RBTA.

 

[Travis Savant]

Oh, and that's the angle you would see the tank when standing in front of it.
