side view.

Notice the hair algae.

Guess this is what you're gonna get after diatom bloom.

Oh man... you have a hell of a lot of greens in your tank... somehow looks very natural to me This bloom... is it avoidable? I'm afraid the same will happen to my tank too... if I am to control the PO4 real well... do you think the algaes will still bloom? Perhaps adding 1 or 2 Tangs

[Bob]

Just transfer this colony about 2 days back.

Hope it does well in new tank.

Love to see the greens & also many algae specimens surprise.

Using them for nutrients exports. Also the hair algae host lots of isopots.

The chromis loves them.

FYI have never feed anything to this tank yet.

But have to keep an eye on them regularly.

[Bob]

Another lovely specimen.

OMG!!! This is the most natural looking tank I've seen in the past few months!!! Love it!!! As long as the glass are clean... the algae just adds realism to the whole setup!!! Emm... I might do the same for my next tank

Keep posting!

hey bro bob, still remember me? great to see ur new tank pic.. but wun u afraid the algae will kill ur corals?

[Bob]

Of coz can remember you & the forgspawn that i have sold to you.

I should say that the algae has a lot to do in saving my tank from crashing.

Got a diatom boom after firing all 3 mh light & also that time uses tap water for top up evaporation & salt mix.

This is what it looks like .

[Bob]

Skimmer skim like crazy.Got to empty the cup daily as it will overflow.

Of coz got to watch out for algae growth.It will also grow over your coral.
