peligro Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Well I'm about 4 month into the reef tanking, I did some low maintenance fresh water for about two years, had a brackish setup for a year, with a f8 puffer that I saved from Walmart.......But met his doom to another Walmart spotted puffer that I'm assuming had some form of ich..... And moved on to sw.... Went for the all in one tank. Jbj 28gal hqi I have a very small pink finger polyps. Very small And some other hitch hiker button polyps They have gone from 7 polyps to about 35.... But can't seem to have the heart to give them away. Or ditch them. Soo......problem though....... I'm battling dinoflagellates. So I'm planning an all out war. Taking rock out, and scrubbing them. Re-aquascaping. Scrubbing the heck out of the back sump. And cleaning pumps. And setting up a regular cleaning time for the back. Ya live you learn. Lol. But that's about it. HTC EVO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smann Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Welcome to the forum! Post your progress, doesn't look very bad to me sounds like you have a good plan though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Welcome to the forum! Good luck with your dinoflagellate problem. You may find it clears up on its own with time and frequent water changes as your tank is still so young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Z Reef Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Yeah, just send me a PM on here and you can swing by this weekend or something if your tank is ready for some coral. Mushrooms grow extremely easily and multiply fast, so I have tons. I'll give you some red, green, and blue ones. I'll try to get some wrangled up for you to take. There are a few people on here from Vancouver, everyone is really cool, so take any opportunity to check out others tanks when you can.
