overview of my tank

[hanne]

why nobody willing to tell me wat is this ??????

[FuEl]

? When they are growing normally it is called asexual growth as they are propagating via rhizomes. When they start turning white, it is a sign of sexual reproduction as they have expended all their energy into forming gametes.

look like cyanobacteria to me....

[Morgan]

You got cyanobacteria

[tigershark]

You got cyanobacteria

agree.... the red/purple stuff should be cyano.... use to have quite a lot in my 2' tank. At first I thought it is coraline... I claim that I got coraline algeo all over the tank... my friend came over to my place and laught like nobody bussiness

[blacknails]

Yeap it is the smelly smell cynobacteria..

Should remove it physically or it might be really unsightly..

Oh by the way I think black sea urchins eat cynobac.. had them in my tank and once they were added my clynobac was gone.. Hmmm..

Guys may I know how you guys encourage coralline growth.. hehe sorry to hijack..

[spicyball]

So what will happen if the macro algae go assexual...will it affect all the lifestock?

issit bad for the main tank???

how about this one??

wat is this?? how to cure this kind of thing

[Morgan]

Pray hard that it will go away

Don't feed the tank for a few weeks, might go away but no guarantee

Massive and regular water change might help also.

i already change 25% ........hope it can disappear lah....... issit bad for all the coral???

use red slime remover from ultralife.

with only one dose you won't have the problem again....

[Morgan]

Not really bad for corals unless they get covered by cyano...If the cyano is doing this then your nutrient is very very high

And also corals don't do well in poor quality water

and change 25% water weekly....

[Morgan]

Forget to add....getting a good skimmer will also help

You mean going sexual..not asexual...hmmm..wonder why these 2 very different terms always get mixed up...is it a common misconception?
