Hey...you guys must be thinking I am crazy to post this thread... :P

But for those who have seen my tank, do you realise it is rather clean? :rolleyes:

I have stopped using aragonite this time round and just normal #0 and #1.

I remembered last time, there was a bryopsis bloom in my tub until it seemed as if I was harvesting turtle weeds but now... :rolleyes:

Cleaners? Mostly nassarius(abt 10 pcs), bumble bees(abt 6pcs) and one sally lightfoot.

And you also know how often I feed my fish and how potent my fish food is... :P

So what has happened here? :huh:

feel free to offer your hypothesis... :P

Would give me an enriching lesson to learn. :)

Simple. You have gone past the algae phase already. Your biological filtration capabilities have matched your bioload in your tank, all the nutrients that had fueled algae growth have declined enough.

What exactly are u 'complaining' about? And are you trying to bait vegetarian fishes in various guises? Please don't! ;)

Bryopsis bloom? yup...it occurred in my tub. You saw it before. :P

Some rocks were actually left dry and I used the remaining ones from the tub which I scrubbed off the algae painstakingly. Silly me but dun wan that hairy monster to come back to me from the tub. :P

Sis, den why u probing into the disappearance of Mr Bryo?!

Remember the verse, " Seek, and you will find "...

Tada!! Algae BOOM!! Opps! :P

But anyway, it's interesting that you brought it up.... maybe the rocks are real matured or the algae blooms really over?? :)

Bro, I use DI water, but still got cyano every now and then... combating it now before it develops into a full blown bloom! :shock:

      FOC Coral Bandid Shrimp

      Hi, I'd need to give away my CBS named Shadow. He's a decent sized guy, been with me for a few months, a darling of a shrimp. But he's started attacking my small fish, fish have gone missing through the months, few have died the past week. Unsure him or anything else. My current fish are all healthy. Free of charge. Just promise to take good care of him. Please quarantine him first, or put him in a fishless setup for a few weeks. Self collect at Indus road. Cheers.
