    Dealing with lyngbya

    Here is a semi experiment to see what kills this stuff. I have tried: reef flux, Cheminclean, and peroxide dosing only up to the recommended doses in two different tanks. With zero notable results. I haven't tried the antibiotic yet. (I will try the recommended dose today in my 210gallon...

    yesterday's earthquake

    That would have been. My thoughts provided you have a stable stand thats not something janky lol. I could envision strap to wall possibly being worse than aquarium and on the stand moving as a unit. I could also envision the potential problem would be if aquarium and stand separating. If stand...

    yesterday's earthquake

    I was sleeping my wife woke me up and said earthquake same time my phone alerted me. She felt it. I may have felt it lmao but I was in that half awake state semi out of it. Granted first thought came to mind was tanks. Yet I didn't see or hear anything in the house moving so I went back to sleep.

    biome shift?

    Could be a low track element giving how much time had past. I couldn't get any color to show up in my sps even with decent numbers until dosing traces. It was mainly certain pigments that wouldn't show up. I have a small number of corals still trying to regained those typical colors. Ie. 2...

    Oceanic 40gallon Sps tank.

    So I finally got around to addressing some issues in the tank. With coral encroachment on others. The red circle shows. A tri color valida acropora. It's beautiful yet I had no idea it was like a table acropora. I placed it in the center of everything and just started encroaching on all the...

    Dealing with lyngbya

    Yea I've read over it a few time. Several other posts mentioned Azithromycin works and actually kills it. It came back with multiple people saying it worked. Requires a prescription but I was able to find some online that doesn't. Will give it a try. If that fails than Silica maybe. Or...

    Dealing with lyngbya

    2.5 weeks of dosing peroxide. I also added microbacter clean. No results. Looks like the stuff is getting worse in the 210 (no fish so not really feeding the tank beyond a few pellets for the hermits) This stuff also seems to be not be not improving in the nem tank either. Nems are looking...

    Tank Parameters all over the place

    Everything is guess work until you see clear numbers. I have the high range kitsnu can borrow or you can send in a icp if you want accurate. Being honest her your kinda going to the extreme side of things before honest attempt s at basic measures. Large water changes do work. Dosing lanthanum...
