try red grapes macroalgae and red bamboo macroalgae...shd work if the fish is healthy.

buy nori (seaweed), without flavour from daiso or market, soak with garlic juice maybe it might help. get a clip with suction cup and attached it (the nori to the glass. red bamboo like wat bro underwater says might help to induce feeding too. reborn do carry red bamboo quite often call them to check it out.

YT is quite a greedy type of fish. Strange that it's not feeding. Is other fishes in ur tank facing the same problem?

No.the rest of them is ok.what i had in mind is when introduce to tank, the YT seems quite hard to get along with the brown scopa. only for past 3-4 days they are ok.maybe that is one of the cause here?

yea, brown tang and yellow tang tends to pickle ard with each other. Let us noe if its starts to feed. U might wanna try live brineshrimp/mysis too.

still miss your MH la bro ..hehehe...this will happen when two man who dont have pasport want to trade..hehehe..

ahaa..one more thing, is PURPLE UP additives good for coralline seeding? i found the growth are slow in my tank..for info the PO4 are now 0.02.

ermm...oso this are other additives that i used.

Kent Tech-M

Kent Strontium+Molybdenum

Kent Turbo Calcium

Kent Kalkwasser Mix ( Dosing using my DIY dosing method )

Kent Iodine

Kent Essential Elements

Kent Coral Vite

Seachem Magnesium

Seachem Carbonate & Alkaline

Kent dkH Super Buffer ( i think )

Wandering maybe the product effect on the coralline growth & if could, please comment on the quality wise of the products..Thanks in advance.

u have coraline seed in the tank in the first place ?

if dun have then no matter what u add in also cannot grow any coraline.

if u have, then u need to scrap them to propagate.

what i did for my tank is i keep mg above 1400, ca above 420 n kh at ard 10 - 11, some of my rock already have coraline but i notice the other white rocks turn purple within 2 mths. imo, once ur perimeter r rite on track, u will get coraline growing everywhere. even the wavemaker, glass, overflow.....n even the sand

[Victor007]

and once it gets to there....it's no longer beautiful...but irritating...haha.

wah, maybe you should send me some of your irritating coraline..hehe...i bought about 50kg of LR and most of it got coraline on it. propagate? but it is very hard to scrap em cos already arranged em. BTW, if i manage to, how to stick it to other LR?

not true. coralline grows in time. just have to make sure CA level is right, trace elements, strontium etc contributes to coralline growth even ur LR is "free" of coralline when u first started the tank. 2cts.

haha..victor, i agree with u. if it grows on ur rock scape,and not on ur glass. else u got big problem scaping them away..

GOOD NEWS!---last night while doing maintenance, i spotted some coraline growing around 5-6 cm below some LR.wah, why they going under the LR??

BTW is it normal that algae growth in my tank is---first the brown,then the red,then the green,finally the purple.they did grow on each other.
