Hahaha... been disturbing pple's thread and not updating my own thread.

Anyway just had a minor green algae bloom on my sand bed, the effect of laziness stepping in after I got into my new job.

Did a small WC, changed my phoslock (not fludising as well as sorb4) and also cleared my refugium. There was some food flakes stuck there... <_<

Just did a rearragement of my corals using super glue gel. Good prodcut. I love it sia...

Will upload some pics tonight. My camera cannot make it. Take pic also not nice... haii...

And developed a fetish for tube worms so if U see any around do let me know. Already checked out AM and T95. Maybe somewhere else? Thanks

how to get rid of the green algae formed at the sandbed?

:thanks::thanks:

I guess same with other algae.

Reduce nutrient input into the tank

Have some macro algae to remove the nutrients or do WC and siphon out the algae where possible.

Use some adsorbent that remove phosphate

Control lighting regime

Use some cleaning crew

Guess thats all I did... Think I fed too much over the holidays. Everyday at home nothing to do just feed and feed. So control feeding is important and I do realise that those $6 bottle of green water (plankton) sold in the LFS can be quite nutrient rich. Have since switched to a concentrate version sold by AM.

Two pieces of SPS... Free from the brothers here... Got them as very small pieces..

The green piece came as a "Y". Been showing quite good growth.

The other piece came also as a "Y" growth is very very marginal. Only the 3 humps on the right. Btw, this frag looks pink under blue light so quite like it.

Add 1 or 2 Tangs to clear them up :D

I prefer to balance nutirent levels rather than adding more nutrients to the tank....

Got two tanks and a dozen snails and dwarf hermits. Hope it will clear up in a while.

Guessing that its due to the light spectrum shift.
