Fish Update

Fish Update

My tank is currently an algae farm but here is a quick video of the fish I have. I added a Chevron Tang as well as a Male Pintail Fairy Wrasse. I am letting the tank run its algae course before I add corals back into the display. I removed the corals in August because the green hair algae was beginning to overtake the corals. I let the tank run for two weeks with no lights to kill the hair algae but to my surprise it did not make a huge dent. I am currently running a refugium with Chaetomorpha algae and dosing vodka. I still dose ZEObak and Sponge Power but the other ZEOvit products are not being used. Nitrates are at 2.5 mg/L and phosphates are between 0.05 and 0.08 ppm. I am no longer running GFO, I occasionally dose lanthanum chloride. I still run ROX 0.8 carbon passively in a mesh bag in the sump. I am currently running the metal halides for 3 hours per day and the T5's for 6 hours per day.

Here is a video link

That pintail is one nice fish. So is the Hawaiian flame.
Have you considered adding about 30 snails to combat the hair algae?
Unless you're uln, there's going to be algae. You just have to have grazers..

Try a tuxedo urchin or two if you're not ready for more fish. Yellow tangs are good for picking the nooks and crannies or for something a little more exotic a Hawaiian Moorish Idol.
