Xiggie's 25% tank

[xiggie]

Bro, how did u get rid of these brown algae.. Any secret.. dose anything?

Used a number of stuff from nualgi , to goodbye po4 , till one day they just disappeared , I guess the the tank ran it's cycle and everything went into equilibrium. They went away after about 2-3mths if I remember correctly , almost threw out the tank .

Wow! Impressive write up. Wonderful setup. Generous and humble guy. Can imagine the tons of effort used for this tank and thread. Was really amazed to see the transformation. Kudos to you bro! Definitely camping here.... can't wait for it to transform to 100%!

He eats everything , even glue for frag plugs. Once,he had to starve for 2 days coz he picked on the wrong frag plug and got his mouth glued shut for two days!!

Let's talk about rock scaping, I started with big chunky dead rocks and ended up with lack of flow and lots of dead spots especially under the rocks , nitrates were under control but detritus are a problem especially on a bare bottom tank.

So I did some dead rock scaping and cured them right in the sump before doing a major rescaping project, out goes the bulky rocks and in the current rockscape.(not done yet still planning for more towers)

New rocks were just glued and epoxied together. Keeping to minimum bottom glass contact.

Arrangements in tank are such that 1 wavemaker will be able to move the water in the whole Tank with minimum dead spot.

Wow! Nice bro! How did you managed to make them come out. Mine seems to be shy. Had it for 4 days already. Never seen it out.

[xiggie]

They come out during lights off , that picture was take @ 8 the morning ,

4 days is still too early for the coral to be stable ,

[acewong]

So sad n so worry...

Yes I do , and I saw u at lck201 that day remember?

[xiggie]

Mine took more than 3week to come out .. And bytheway I don't feed them ... Think they get food from the fish poo that's always floating around coz I don't have sand .

[ahchris]

Yes I do , and I saw u at lck201 that day remember?

how's the perimeter for the nsw? i got so sick of preparing water.

[xiggie]

Never tested the param, only salinity @ 1.025sg , someone in the wassap group did test n all was good , and so far I never had problems.

But carrying them up to the flat is a hassle if u don't have a trolley.
