SRC Member hijackng Posted July 25, 2010 Author SRC Member Share Posted July 25, 2010 Yes, this is the reason all reefer wants to reach. After a hard day of work, standing in front of the tank is priceless. Sometimes when we think about it, we wonder how other people without reef tank cope after a hard day of work. Well, the time I spend looking at my tank is more then me watching TV... Lucky I have a understanding family, being supportive all this while. I am wondering what's happen if I stop reefing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member hijackng Posted July 25, 2010 Author SRC Member Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hi Jack, Turns out the coral you passed to me is almost impossible to I.D. Most internet websites refer to it as daisy xenia. I will pass a colony back to you once I start to grow them. I believe u sure be able to groom the tiny frag into a nice big colony. If it is unknown, u may want to name it "fuelblu xenia" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member vt_snowman87 Posted August 18, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted August 18, 2010 Bro Vincent, go get a sea haire and it should solve your problem within a week. i have 2! problem still persisting! even though the seahares have tripled in size.. i suspect its the strong current that's deterring them from those patches.. now i'm taking a new approach, turning off all waves at night, hopefully the hares will clear the remaining patches.. haiz..

PO4 is present in the rocks so have to wait for the algae to finish absorbing all. then it will stop growing and die off, or get eaten up for good. which is what's happening to me now.

Byropsis is a really distasteful algae. ok sorry bro hijack for....hijacking your thread! sorry pun intended! hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Reefer yikai Posted August 18, 2010 Senior Reefer Share Posted August 18, 2010 the best algae eaters from the foxface genus are those that look like the real foxface. the other rabbitfishes are too big and not suitable for aquarium. bicolour foxface, foxface, one spot foxface and magnificent foxface should be good choices. moreover, foxfaces are extremely disease resistant. the last fishes to die. my personal favourite from the group is the bicolour foxface. rare, beautiful, unique and very different. my kind of fish. endemic only to fiji.

SRC Member hijackng Posted August 19, 2010 Author SRC Member Share Posted August 19, 2010 Hijacking? no problem guy. Thanks for adding substance into my tank thread Agreed with lemon... Continue maintain good water, add some po4 remover. after some time algae growth will slow down. I used to prune bryopsis and brush hair algae with tooth brush manually. For me Turf algae is a problem unit I introduce tuxedo urchin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
