  1. You could buy a coralline booster sheet, to seed you tank with coralline. Or just keep your calcium levels a little higher then normal, and it will begin to grow. I usually keep my calcium at 450 to 465. But I have coral that rely on the calcium. So it gets depleted quicker. But once I kept my levels higher. The coralline took off and fast.

  2. I don't mean to hijack the thread. But figured I'd state and ask. And it would help. I have been over feeding lately. And now have some red cyno. I will take process photos of a multiple attack system on it. And post pics. Because I can't afford a good gfo any ideas on what I can do

  3. Yeah I love my maroon, but it is the meanest fish I can't even stick my hand in to feed my coral on the opposite side of the tank without it charging my hand and biting all over. Said to say that I'm getting rid of it. I want more then one fish I'm my tank. I have heard that You can keep it in a 29 as long as you have lots of hiding places for the other fish. Or the nem is placed somewhere or plants itself somewhere it won't really see other fish

  4. You said black algae? Usually with one type of algae there are others, try doing a good look around, analysis everything nook & cranny. Research, what they are. And solutions to them. Chances are you need to do deep cleans every where, and water changes more frequently, natural dilution through water changes is always best. Once you start using things to get rid of your original problem, you create a mask for other issues that can arise. I have heard good things about vodka, and vinegar dosin, but all my friends, And uncle say its not something you want to continue for long lengths of time. You in reality want to find the main reason for the high Phosphate. And doing multiple things at once doesn't give you Good answers cause you can never tell which one thing you did solved the issue. But that's my own knowledge, and experience. I have battled almost every kind of bad algae possible.

  5. Ok so I glued my Duncan coral to a rock that my LFS said should work. Basically its like cured cement? But what the did was fill the tips of baby nipples, and glue the frags to them. So I did that, and I'm noticing that it doesn't really support my Duncan coral very well. It starts to tilt, And with it sprouting new heads I'm worried it won't support it for much longer, I have it super glued (not normal super glue) like water resistant, to the nipple now, but how do I get it off? And would a puck work better. My sand bed is only like 1.5 to 2 inches deep. Thanks guys

  6. Ok so I'm outside smoking a ciggy, When I come in I notice all these clearish white things being thrown around in my tank. I'm like :eek:..... Upon further viewing I notice these things have legs and look like baby shrimp. I Just got this peppermint shrimp 3 days ago. And now this lol.... First its the nem split. Then my Duncan closed, and open to be sprouting new heads, now this shrimp is giving birth. Is a sign my tank is doing really good, or everythings last ditch effort.

  7. Yeah I started the water bottles today. I have my lights coming on at night when its cooler, seems to help a bit still looking for a little clip on fan to attach to the tank so I can direct it towards the halids. It's a nano so it doesn't take long for it to heat up. Any other ideas, can't really afford a chiller
