What have you done with your tank lately?

[mpcart]

I started a three day blackout to get ahead of a possible algae problem. In addition, I purchased a Neptune WAV system to increase flow, changed all my RODI filters, started running GFO, and added hundreds of snails from reef cleaners.

( Tested water parameters on the 120 too. Aside from the additions I got from Dsmack (aiptasia, valonia, SPS eating angelfish)

He let me borrow his refractometer. Says I need to raise my salinity..:blown:

Cleaned the glass.

Added a 1 inch sea whip to the tank . Its the first one I have ever had! I'm probably gonna kill it! just saying. I also added a mix of 30 snails to beef up my CC. I've been over feeding to get my acans to grow faster, they have really taken off like wildfire but the amount of food it takes has proven to be a problem...hair algae.....but its better then nothing at all . before it was nothing at all.... now its bright purples, blues, greens, yellows, pinks, fury green, hairy greens... hahahahahaha.

I'm guessing this the standard Dsmack hydrometrr joke . . . But, if not, feel free to drive over and borrow mine.

Just finished rinsing my first batch of regenerated high capacity GFO. Big job that took several days.

Over the last several days:

I'm starting to battle some of the new tank algae issues. I worked through the diatoms and plain old algae quickly, but I'm starting to get some hair algae grow on the rocks and glass now. Nitrate is floats between 0 and 2 on Red Sea. Phosphate floats between 0.03 and 0.11 on Hanna. I know from the speed the algae is growing the levels are really higher than this. The fuge is already up and running with chaeto. I did a couple of 10% water changes. I started up some GFO and carbon in a couple of reactors (finally hooked them up to my manifold too). I started up some vodka dosing and scaled back my feeding a bit too.

I've also been seeing alk drop a bit consistently and have been dosing that up. Calcium has finally started to drop too so I'm hoping that this means the coraline is finally starting to take off.

My corals are starting to get happy in the new tank. Here's a bad IPhone picture of the three acan frags I got at the swap. I have a really nice pink and baby blue one too. please ignore the turf algae on the rock, its being handled .

My new tank. The corals aren't mounted yet, I'm still working out the flow and stuff. The WP40 really moves massive amounts of water, like holy crap! I'm running it on its lowest setting, pulse 1200gph.

What the heck is that thing in the middle of your tank. Alien egg? :spin3:

Looks like a Tupperware full of sand.

 

[smoothdog]

Ha ha, I was looking at it on my phone and all I could see was the top of the sand. Much clearer on my monitor.

I didn't know if My wrasses would be happy in the larger chunks of substrate, so I put it in for the first few nights to see if they used it, they did not.

I wont describe what it looks like from my phone :lol2:

Double post, my bad

 

[rollers]

Bought new RB V2 lights and install them ...

 

[Nanook]

Cleaned and filled my GEO 6x24 and 12x24 calcium reactors, as well as my CO2 tanks. Took the GEO 8x24 sulphur denitrator apart and cleaned the sulphur media, also added some Seachem Matrix.
