Just added 1000ml of very dark Tetraselmis phytoplankton to 100G system.
I have moved Sea Apple and most of all sponges from 120G while I experiment with peroxide treatment.
Since Orange Tree Sponge has been in this tank, a slight dusting of algae begin to accumulate. Now, there are chunk bites where Hippo & Sailfin Blennie helped themselves to the banquet. Sponge is bright and healthy looking. They saved me the toothbrush manicure required on my part. Yes to beneficial janitors.
I will take more tank pictures later when phyto clears.
Initially used led tape to power phyto generator but heat gain pushed temperature into 90 degrees. Now I got a rigid grow light with eggcrate spacer to vent heat.
