i bought live rock from gulf-view and the rocks were colorful and full of life. i got them next day air cargo totaling 210 for 39 pounds. ive been dosing with purple up 5ml and 10ml of seachem liquid marine buffer daily and now at around 8ph. im going to keep uping the ph to 8.3 soon. been doing 5 gallons water changes daily also. tank is still cycling and nitrates/nitrite are off the charts or in stressful conditionals. any suggestions would help. also had the new 39lbs of rock for about 5 days. had 10lbs old dead rock in tank for amonth or two prior to starting the reeftank
have no idea what the green things are growing... most died when i got them and started to regrow
big aiptasia? not so sure but it looks like it to me
the pink ones behind the branchy things, have another view
heres the one behind the plantlike thing
does this look like the corraline algae is dying?
this anemone looks different alittle bit, is it still aiptasia? the fingers are alittle more chubby and it looks like it has white bands on them
finally an overall view of my tank
should i take the fan looking algae plant out?
