Its so hard with damsels, I doubt they did it on purpose. The second the get stressed, they turn dark, making it hard to see markings. I don't think that is a sprigeri.

My reaction as well is that's not the flatworm eater. Hard to really tell from the pic.

From my research it's difficult for anyone to tell what's the true flatworm eating springeri. My recollection from previously researching this is there's two types of fish both called the same thing, but only one is the one we really want. I can't recall if they're both called Blue Sapphire or if they're both called springeri or of is just a common misidentification.

Only a wrasse remain and can't catch him.

@Adauqua advise to use reef flux to elimiate yellow green sand and with gha. Added 20 capsules.

Reef flux melted my bryopsis. Sea hare decimated my GHA. If flux does not work maybe try hare, but consider if it’ll get bullied by fish

 

[richiev]

+1 reef flux for bryopsis, just know it'll probably affect any fuge you have too. GHA I found the most successful solution was a foxface. Even if you need to get a little one and swap it eventually.

After 3 weeks, sand is cleaner. Scrub most rocks. Still some bha.

Found a turtle in the tank. Wasnt intentional.

Tank is sad with only 2 fish.

starting to lose interest. Selling tank if there is any interest.

It would be a great club project to brainstorm ideas to revive enthusiasm for it (selling always comes at a large loss). However, it is a large tank, and it does need a proportionate motivation to be successful. Sad if this is no longer the case but issues can cause that.

Is this turf algae? Hard to scrub off and its fluffy hairy.

They appeared after switching out the center xr30 for an ap9x. They appear mostly in the center.

I read mix review of using fluzo

Looks like it, yes. Although, the turf algae I’ve encountered pulls off pretty easily.

Thanks @CaseyP for the fluco

Added 5 pills.

 

[popper]

Within a week time span, added a fox face, 2 clown, 7 line wrassez 2 flame angel, 1 majestic angel, 1 regal angel. All from shutdown tanks. Owner assured me the angels are reef safe

Winter season, water evaporates 5g per day. Added these acrylic sheet now its less than 1/2g

the fluco didnt do anything to the turf algae. Removed heavily infested rocks.

Got 4 urchins from @wazzupmac a week ago. No change in sand cleanliness

Did it turn white at all? Like any of it following Treatment?
Also did you have the skimmer cup removed?

I ask because first time I used it I saw very minimum effect only a few tips turn white, sonI repeated it the next week at a stronger dose. It worked within a week after increasing the amount I used.

Skimmer off

This is the 2nd time within a few months that i use fluco.

Sand has gooey brown slime

 

[Darkxerox]

Good you're doing the manual removal of the hair algae. The urchins and fox face will help once it's shorter on the rocks. You could borrow a sea hare if you still have quite a bit on the sand.

 

[popper]

Tried a new aquascape and organize the corals.

Short video:

Created a torch forest. Added a rock from @MichaelB perfect for the sticks.

Lowered the three mp40 from 75% to 35-50%

 

[PizzaOven]

Tank looks great! Is this a coral encrusted frag rack?

 

[Turkeysammich]

Funny you mention lowering the flow. I was looking at your aquarium the other day. I was like man his flow is low. It looks amazing. Lol.
