Kevin's 36 gallon setup

Bubble algae is tough man i suggest fragging the corals if possible and tossing the parts with bubble algae before it spreads. Ive had to do this before because nothing else including the scrapping and cleaning of frag got rid of it. It always seemed to grow back

You need to find a way to diffuse the splashing or bubbles to eliminate the salt creep. A filter sock or some inventive plumbing

I'm on way home from the critter with a firefish and a royal gramma

Yeah I need a filter sock. The filter floss and rubber band works though. I would use a filter sock but I was told to clean it in washing machine with bleach and I will not use bleach on anything ever again.

I lost several corals due to regenerating purigen and not getting all the bleach out.

How far below the water is your drain pipe going into the sump? If its more then a half inch to inch then its causing lots of bubbles to come out and this causes lots of salt creep. Tube should barely go into water in sump

 

[kwandrsn]

Just barely under surface almost above it.

Good to hear abut the firefish!
Hope the gramma comes out to play soon.

 

[kwandrsn]

Ok the new firefish is doing good. Not really darting around like the first one I had but I guess he just has to get used to the new surroundings.

The royal gramma came out today after I fed them all some frozen food. He started to explore the corner he's been hiding in a little until my six line chased him :-(

I think they will be fine with time. On the good side both the new fish ate tonight

That's always a good sign. My six line used to chase all new additions. Once I added the foxface, he decided he wasn't the baddest anymore.

 

[kwandrsn]

Did he eventually leave the new additions alone? He doesn't bother the firefish

Yes. He leaves everything alone now. New and old.

Noticed this evening I have a astrea star on my glass. I thought one you got rid of them they would stay gone. I have one on my back glass that is actually kinda grey/brown color then a white one on my front tank

If they have bred then you won't see them till they get bigger. Just keep taking them out when you see them.
