Decided to show my little AIO, don't want to create a lot of new threads about algae and all other things so my plan as put all information and questions here
Light: Fluval Marine 3.0 nano
Pump: Oase300 Optimax
and some Heater which brand I don't remember. Set for 25C (77F) degree
Filtration: LiveRock, little layer Sintepon to catch big particles.
Started in November. After 1,5 month of ghost feeding finally have 0 ammonia and nitrites. After that Introduced 1 clownfish, 1 clibanarius tricolor and 1 trochus histrio.
After 1 month add some corals. Started with "simple" corals. Don't want waste a lot of $$ and see how they die. My choice was:
Ricordea
Green star polyp
Some mushroom (which i can't identify)
Blastomussa wellsi
Stylophora pistillata "milka" (i know it is SPS, but in general this one should be "easy" sps)
Parameters right now:
NO2 0
NO3 3
PO4 0.25 (I add 2tea spoons of ROWA phos (in bag) to reduce PO4, but after 1 week don't see any changes).
KH 7.3
Salinity 1.025
So tank right now is 2,5month old, and i have algae on sand and hardscape. From hardscape I can clean with tooth brush, but sand is impossible. So leaving algae right there, doing each week about 25% water change.
Add some pictures which I did today to get some view
Questions:
1. What is the name of that mushroom? (picture 111)
2. What type of algae I am dealing right now?
3. When I can see changes in PO4 using RowaPhos?
4. What is that little "shrimp" I saw her today on water change. Good or bad?
