3ftx1.5ftx2ft New Setup

[jxlex]

GFO, bio pellet, etc, use them properly, replace accordingly, etc

[staromsa]

Currently using biopellets already. Also together with rowaphos.

[staromsa]

Maybe itd becaude the biopellets running low? As i realised that its becoming lesser. Anyw, thks jxlex bro and evolutionz bro for ur response.

[jxlex]

Start by removing ur long algae la... Dun think u will like brown sticks in ur tank anyway... Turning brown or colouring up dun happen over night... Picture weeks to months... Esp for colouring up i dun think happen over a few days...

[staromsa]

Some of my sps are abt 2-3 weeks liao. Colours are alright. But some staghorn which are brown that a bro gave me, are starting to have some green tips.. yeahh man. Definitely plucking out the hair algae. Got 7 urchins inside liao. Getting lesser. Can i add some tang fishes bro jxlex?

[jxlex]

To add or not really up to u.<br /><br />Imho, more livestock = more nutrients = more algae...<br /><br />If u can control the nutrients i dun see any issues, but if u cant its another nutrient factory for u... <br /><br />7 urchins like abit overboard though

Your sps are just recovering and you still need to manage the nutrients and algae issues. Let your aquarium reach equilibrium first. The last thing you should do is to add more stuff, such as Tangs with high bioload, to upset the entire system. Resist the temptation to stock anything until the problems are well under control. Good luck.

Reef garden bro, what do u mean by reach equilibrium first?? May u explain further?

[staromsa]

Jxlex bro, alright. I will pluck out the hair algae and see what is there that i can do. As for putting tang fishes, i shall add it only in near future. Thankyou so much!

[jxlex]

Equilibrium = balance

Ur tank need to reach a balance before you should start loading delicate stuff...

But since already loaded..... Pray....

[staromsa]

HAHA. Shall pray for the best bah. Just hope evrything thrives.. thks bro.

[Evolutionz]

great looking colonies! pe looks good!

[jxlex]

Nice... Looks like lady luck is still shining on u...<br /><br />Ur algae also power!

[Slimymadness]

Looking good ah!

Don't add too many fishes yet as the new bioload might worsen algae. Observe and wait first.

Thanks bro for your nice words!

Jxlex bro, thks .. Btw just being humble... All the while my colonies has been having real good PE. No luck involved. Just like all of you bro's taught me. Patience is the key. About the algae it is way much better liao. my whole used to be flooded with it. Now left some portions only.

[jxlex]

PE doesnt mean alot for sps... But i can see alot of efforts... Good job btw, monitor the algae... Have fun hopefully everything stays well! Cheers

Cheers.

Jxlec bro, not only is there good PE. i observed good growth in most of my SPS. Had some sps previously bought from a bro which most of them are browned... There is a lokani(i think) From brown until now become purplish blue tip with green Polyps.. Even some SPS had already encrusted. For example , the lokani..
