Since my last post, my tank has taken a complete turn around. From a good looking tank just starting to establish coralline and everything growing except my acans, now I have a major red algae bloom. I’m thinking it’s the addition of the tang and feeding seaweed sheets. Or its my lighting.
Currently, I feed a small 1/8 of a sheet everyday. Along with mysis shrimp (1/2 cube daily).
my lighting is the viparspectra at 45% intensity both blue and whites. Blues come on at 8 am, whites at 10. Whites off at 4 pm and blues at 8. I’m cutting my lighting intensity down to 40, and taking 2 hours off my schedule (blues on at 9, whites at 11, off at 3 and 7).
I also need more flow in the tank. I’ll be adding another wave maker later this week.
