Dispar_Anthias Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Obviously something is not really right with your tank..... IMO you should stop adding tangs.... They are ich prone and produce tons of waste... If you filteration system is not good enough, trouble could occur especially when you keep loading tangs...... IMO remove some tangs and stick with maybe 1 and a few other fish.... Surprise your nitrate is at this lvl..... get salifert to double check cos i dun really think your nitrate is at this lvl...... My 2 cents DA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2 cents DA hi bro. thanks for your input...... i finally know what diatoms are.... exams are appraching so i can't really do much to the tank...... was thinking of giving one tang away, but catching anyone one of them would be tough.... i'm keen to get rid of the diatoms and slime algae, and replace them with beautiful coralline though. i feed them several times a day and you are right, they are producing tons of wastes... esp when i stand before the tank to feed them.. quite unsightly at times... measuring nitrate with tetratest. checked again today, it's 12.5mg. the kit running out anyway, i'll heed your advice to go for a salifert. and i will keep a close lookout on ich.... thanks Rocky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanna remove the algae.. get rowaphos or use a big skimmer..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyttk Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Hi bro, I have brown aglea too growing on my rocks and corals. In fact, they are a soft films that can be easily wipe off. Are these diatom ? U mentioned that we can use rowaphos to get rid of it. is that a chemical ? where to buy ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
