Hey bro, noticed u have some green algae on ur rocks. Is it green slime? How do u control them? Mine seem like going a bit out of control although still not a lot but it all over the place & it irritates me.

Yeah have abit of green algea.. but more red algea.. Now mostly under control. For green algea can try foxface or turbo snail.. Hope it helps..

Mine is more green slime than green algae. I read somewhere cyano also come in the form of green slime. Trying another bacteria additive to see if it helps.

Thanks for sharing, bro. Really amazing colorful sps, lps, invert bta, healthy fishes. The natural scape and fat fishes searching for their food. Really no horse run bro.

thanks for the kind words.. still awaiting the sps to fully grow and cover up the rocks...

  • Senior Reefer

the kind of reef tank i like.

corals and a lot of fish! a reef is not a reef without fish, and i find sterile SPS tanks with 0 nutrients and 0 fish very off putting.

this is beautiful! good work.

also, lovely bellus angel!

Hey bro, awesome tank you have there! Love it ;) I have a tip you could use for photography :) get a flat piece of acrylic (black would be best) and use it to create a background for the photo. That way you won't have the things that you're not trying to show, like the wave maker, in the photo. I use this for all sorts of photography, and it works as long as the sheet is completely covering the background :) you could buy the 0.3mm acrylic from arts and friends. It's light to use and easy to handle. Hope you find this helpful!
