Skinz's big boy tank.

prsnlty · Dec 28, 2014

Great news! What do you think is the reason? Are you dosing something to help it die off?

skinz78 · Dec 28, 2014

Thanks! I did dose some Phosphate RX for a bit. I'm not sure if it helped or not but my phosphates and nitrates were zero when I checked them the other night.

prsnlty · Dec 28, 2014

That's good, I hope it keeps receeding

I'm getting this mustard green algae and can't get rid of it. I have tons of flow and no detectable phosphates (salefert dbl test) I may start dosing hydrogen peroxide... ugh

Hey Chris, How's the tank doing?

skinz78 · Mar 20, 2015

Long time no update... Been super busy lately but today I got some new critters in so I have got to show them off...

Nice!!! So I take it the tank is doing good now? Glad to hear

skinz78 · Mar 20, 2015

Looks like your box made it there in one piece. Are the bags just black or is there something inside them as well.

Don't wait so long to show us the follow up pictures lol

SeahorseKeeper · Mar 20, 2015

Wait...you're asking for someone to post pics in a build thread? Is that intentional irony?

You first LOL

revhtree · Mar 21, 2015

I've posted more photos lately than you so it's your turn!

joekool · Mar 21, 2015

Don't you have some tangs in there. I have a scopas, powder blue, yellow eye kole, Sailfin they pick at the rocks all day and they keep the algae under controll. Also my one spot fox face is a good picker too.

Careful not to go tang crazy the

will get you.

skinz78 · Mar 21, 2015

Fine here are two more, surely that puts me ahead of you for recent pic's LOL

LOL I have 1 Naso, that is it.... I'm really lacking on fish right now. Only have like 7 or 8 total in there and the rest are all little guys.

Haha Tang Police.... hope they don't visit my thread! I have 5 in the 180 as of today (sssshhh)

Chris get some urchins to help strip the HA and lg mex turbos and maybe a sally lightfoof. 3 emerald crabs completely stripped my daughters 45 of HA in a week. And it was a forest. I have some sort of strange turf algae (i guess) only on all the new rock I made. The mass population of asternia stars don't even wipe it out. Picking up red legs and huge mex turbos tomorrow. (Got fish sidetracked today and forgot them)

You can catch up with pics and show us how big your newest frag is getting

I bet she's grown a lot!
