Here is a video with a 2 day old tank. https://vimeo.com/142100435 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

things were just fine until I put 3 hermit crabs. Than dinoflagellates took over very quickly. I didn't have choice but to start all over again. It was a 2 month old system anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a coral vue 250W with walnut texture reflector and a bunch of radium SE 250W 20k bulbs

i have a coralife 48" t5HO fixture.. let me know

Rock has been bleached again. And hopefully next week I will buy the new sand and set up the tank again. This time I hope no issues will come. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And here is a quick update: I bleached the rock again and now it is with saltwater and a pump in a container. Next week I will buy new sand and mix more water to set up the tank again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nitrates are around 2.5. I don't know about phosphates but I am running gfo. I think I will bleach again and start over again. I don't have any corals just the 2 fish at this point. Uh oh! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Chemiclean didn't do anything to it. Isn't Dino light brown or some light color? I never had Dino's before so I only know from research and pictures. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here is a video of this thing. Do you still think it is red slime? I had to deal with red slime and it wasn't nearly as this. Similar color but stingy and easy to remove. https://vimeo.com/136359318 https://vimeo.com/136359400 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I feel like bleaching the rock and starting over again :( Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here is another picture with the algae in the rock. Now it is in a more advanced stage. Notice the bubbles trapped by it. Here is another picture with this thing. It is not like red slime because this is not stringy. It covers the rock with great detail. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have bad news. One of the clowns (the female) jumped out of the tank. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Now I can't sell as a pair anymore. :( Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The first picture in the previous post shows this growing underneath the rock where light doesn't hit directly. I only had the tank set up for about 2 months. Bleached rock and cured for about 2 months without light. Yes only the 3 hermits. Light is on for 9 hours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok the last picture was too bad so I took some with the lights off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I only had 3 hermit crabs I introduced and that was after I saw the spots pop up. I'll try to put another picture. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a Coralvue 250w. I know it is not what you are asking for but if you don't find anyone let me know. It comes with reflector and a few radium bulbs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have this set up for about 2 months now and a few weeks ago I saw this algae growing on the rock. And some on the sand. At first I thought it is diatoms but I don't know anymore. They look almost brown/black and can be brushed away with a toot brush. It looks like dust when brushed away. There are some small air bubble trapped and I don't think they are red slime because thy seem to grow like coralline algae. Notice the edge in the picture. Pictures have 1000 words.

I bought tree hermits grabs with coralline algae on them and another empty shell that was full of coralline and I scraped off the coralline of the empty shell and now look... Almost 2 weeks later. Oh, I also dose coralline purple-CX. Now and than Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I started having this king of spots on the rock. They are blackish and I see some small air bubbles here and there on some spots. What it it? The also grow on the sand. And in areas where the light doesn't hit directly, just from the reflection of the sand and glass I guess. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Turkey blaster? I have 6 rainbows bta I need to move from one place to another. Oh man. I might put a fan to blast it lightly. It might move. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Last night I noticed a lot of very tiny white bugs on the back and sides of the tank. Knowing that I added the once bleached rock and live Fiji pink live sand only where do you think the bugs might have come from? Oh and I also added tiger pods. But they are red not white. Look at the picture and let me know if you know what they might be! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
