a couple of gallons?? wowTang gang, Turbos, Lawnmowers - the rest is a scam to get in your wallet (refugiums, ATS). I feed my tanks better than my kids (6 times a day) just to keep nitrates and phosphates up! You don't need that fancy crap, just get some live stock. Pack your tank with as much coral as you can afford early on so they consumer all those nutrients. Wish I could grow more algae to feed my CUC! All you need is a skimmer (I run mine 6 hrs a day only), filter pad, forget socks... and a couple gallons of Kalk at night. You'll be growin' SPS out the wazoo! Everything else is marketing, bruh! I'm lazy and that's all I do. This system started w/1 inch frags just over a year ago, 2 part balling (part c) with traces. I don't do water changes because I don't want to destabilize my system with things like Turkish Blend salt, etc... No fancy bs otherwise.
I am growing long hair algae in my mini refugium it’s keep less stuff in the display hahaRefugium lol that’s about it, only maintenance I do is clean glass and remove chaeto occasionally (also dosing of course , due to no water changes)
I do no water changes. Tanks doing good.
One is a Space Invader pectinia and the other is some different type of pectinia.What's the coral at the 1minute mark you zoomed in on? I love your tank and all the torches growing out of a bottle is very unique haha
It comes in sometimes wether you want it or not just get fish it will make it easier lolI wish I have algae. I am dumping loads of food and aminos and reef roids to keep nutrients up. Big export and big import.
Why not just run an ATS? Then you'll never have algae issues...ever!
Dry air here in Denvera couple of gallons?? wow
If the ATS clogs because you forget to harvest -- doesn't that count as an "algae issue?"
Using an ATS to keep algae out of your display is like confining a pre-housetrained puppy to a pen so it doesn't pee and poop all over the house.
OopsI recently had a GHA bloom, I reduced white light and added a nice CUC and a few days later it was all gone. They went to town!!!!
