Recommended Posts

same happened to my sandbed recently. did u just introduce phosphate media like i did? i suspect its the anti-phosphate spills from the bag. donno whether is it harmful though. afew of my fishes died after having this. not sure whether its my water condition or because of the sandbed. anything happened to your tank yet?

water change will reduce the level of nitrate and phosphate (suppose your new water has 0 phosphate).. this will help to control and reduce the amount of algae.. IMO, changing of media should not cause this... =]

maybe its the high level of nitrate since bro ray pointed that changing of the media wont affect. i tried playing around with the sand to cover the brown algae. think changing of water can reduce/maintain the algae from growing. but whats there already there. saw my algae blenny pecking on those brown sands as well. so it should be the high level of nitrate that caused the algae bloom in the sand. any casualty in your tank yet?

Hello mate ..... hv been there in the past ..... my suggestion - change water , suck away the algae on sand n rocks. Off lights for 3 days ( 2 days if u hv sps or anemones just in case but for me even my sps n anemones no prob with 3 days no light )

Main Tank : 48 inch by 36 inch by 28 inch (2 sides starphire glass)
Sump Tank :
Return Pump :
Chiller : Starmax Compressor 1 HP Drop coil
Chiller Return Pump
Protein Skimmer :
Wave Maker :
Fluidised Reactor :

can try using a sand shifting star to solve this prob. also use only DI water for ur water changes

agreed.. sand dollar will help as well... i only use distilled water for all my water change and during my startup... do wanna take any chances... =]

Feeding frequency does not determine overfeeding. It's possible to overfeed with once-a-day feeding.

Generic rule of thumb is to feed only the amount that your livestock can consume in 3 minutes. Any leftover becomes nitrate factory.

Even if all the food is eaten by fishes, if they have eaten too much, they will purge partially digested food to accommodate the new food eaten. partially digested food are also nitrate factories.

Quick answers: Rowaphos, Phosban, Sorb-4.
