my new baby... AKA The Café

[James_O]

Here is my haul from Joe’s sale last night!

He said a surprise is coming up at 5pm, so I don’t know if he will offer more % off in the leftover coral? If so, I may be picking up a beautiful little chameleon favia.

This thing was 2 heads (the size of the lower left one) when I got it back in April. Now it's surrounded on all sides. I didn't even try to count.

You got a fast grower there!

Anything die along the trail?

I’m considering getting this to battle the algae and build up on the sand: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/vibr...MIsJO0iaSQ8gIVEhx9Ch2BWQDrEAQYASABEgLXpPD_BwE

I’ve seen it recommended in other threads, but I just wanted to get your guys opinion on it.

 

[Ricksreeefs]

Black widow!

Nope. But she is on top of some zoas extended out the way she is.

 

[Reefing_addiction]

Black widow!

Hope she isnt like mine walking the tank

 

[James_O]

Black widow!

Beautiful!

I see I’m not the only one battling GHA and bubble algae.

How long has your tank been setup?

Do you run a refugium or have any macro algae?
And remember this does not fix the cause
And follow dosing to a T. I would even dose less

In my honest opinion I had the same problem with algae in the beginning stages I used this and my nutrients bottomed out first came the cyano and then dinos I think for algae just keep doing your water changes untill it stabilizes then you will see fewer algae. People here may have different opinions on it but. But for me it led to cyano and dinos. It’s going to kill all the algae and since you don’t have a skimmer all that excess nutrient is just gonna be in the tank and make things out of whack

I do not. I want to get one, but I don’t know how it would work, as I don’t have a sump.

I think you said that before

Or this^

That makes sense.

After @LRT explained things, I’m doing 2 water changes per week and removing algae manually as I can.

You can use your hang on back filter and make a refuge in there
