Did your tank complete cycling?
Yes I have corals it cycled in about 3 weeks.Did your tank complete cycling?
Is that sps I see?
The tank is most likely very unstable in this phase. You may be in a rough ride. I hope the coral don't have a rough time.
Happy reefing
Thank you for the complement.Beautiful tank setup!
I’d get an urchin. They are really good at removing algae. I would also add one piece of live rock/snail with coralline algae on it to seed the tank.
The ugly stage will be over soon, especially if you get that urchin.
Is this your first tank?Yes I have corals it cycled in about 3 weeks.
I did the turbo start
Not my first tank... I Wachtel all parameters for the three weeks. The cycle was complete but like we all know completed cycle does not mean stable.Is this your first tank?
3 week old tank is very young for very sensitive coral like sps.
I wish you well.
+1As already stated, normal so don't worry.
My suggestions are:
-- Vacuum your sandbed during water changes with something like Python sand/gravel syphon vac.
-- Blow off your rock work a bit with a turkey baster before water change.
*urchins love to eat coralline off your rock and probably not what you want and not enough there yet at this stage (based on pincushion urchin experience)
Pods are a good start. Maybe an algae blenny but they will get a bit aggressive to other blennie.Not my first tank... I Wachtel all parameters for the three weeks. The cycle was complete but like we all know completed cycle does not mean stable.
I'm thinking of putting 2 bottles of copapods. They might eat it?
Yes I will go pick up some trochus snails and copapods todayPods are a good start. Maybe an algae blenny but they will get a bit aggressive to other blennie.
I would start with a few snails personally.
