Andrew323's New Tank!

[andrewasl]

From what i can see from pics your tank is at its algae boom stage, wavemakers also not enuf to circulate your water for a 4 footer. Get an algae blenny or turbo snails or blue hermit crabs to help with the boom & waste. U can also try getting some plants from Ah Beng LFS (@Pasir Ris farm if u dunno where) and put them in your sump if theres space & turn on a small light on them few hrs a day to help export the nutrients for now. Other than that dont stock anymore non-hardy fishes or corals til the stage is over or u gonna regret.

P/S : Most of us started off like u are now and some of us had to learn it the hard way

cos there wasnt much help or we were stubborn lol. So best thing is read the senior's threads

on how they first started the tank. You'll learn a lot, what to do and what not to do. Get

some Salifert testkits too, u need to know whet your water paremeters are weekly or in

some cases daily.

Yea i just read up on how to get rid of these nuisance algae. I've already gotten the turbo snails. Have 5 now. Did a water change today. 4 bags from IWARNA. Tomorrow I'll get the plants from Ah Beng. Looks like I won't be buying anymore livestock until this algae problem is resolved. Shouldn't have been so impatient. Arghhh!! Sucks having so much algae everywhere. Thanks again for all the help u bros have given. Gonna be really patient from now on.
