On the second day after shifting my tank to another office I found small patch of red slime on my live rocks. It was very strange because it happen after big water change(70% SW)and I never had this problem before. One month later few small areas got hair algae. After that I bought " GoodbyePO4 and apply it according instruction. Same time I had 200g of Bio Pellets in mesh bag in my sump tank and had few applications of Joes juice to kill aiptasia . 4 days later all my rocks turn white. After that live rocks start to be covered badly with different type of hair algae (some very nice, some ugly)and even caulerpa (grapes )which I have to harvest a lot every week. Then this green things start to be covered with red slime. Red slime is thin type and difficult come out from rocks. Sand is clean and do not have any algae . NO3 and PO4 are almost undetectable. I add a piece of new live rock and after 2 weeks it is still clean. Corals are doing well, no problem. So what happen with my live rocks and where I can buy new good quality live rocks? This is my tank after cleaning. Now I am using FR for my Bio Pellets.

What are this small things (looks like small anemonias) growing on the rock over the coral? Can it be young majanos?

Help to ID coral please

Thank you for your fast reply. I for the first time see this creature and suspect that this is Majano. But my wife ask me don't get rid of it because she say it is nice. Now your answers prove that I must do it.

Do I need to get rid of this anemon?

There are two type of Tropic Marine salt. One is for fish another for corals. By mistake bought for fish one. Do I need to modify the salt for using it in reef tank or are they almost the same?

Why Reef Depot no more selling “Solaris� Any major problem with product?

What is the best way of changing water in aquarium with sump tank? Do you off the return pump? Where do you add fresh water (in the sump tank or directly to the display tank)?

What is the best way of changing water in aquarium with subtank? Do you off the return pump? Where do you add fresh water (in the subtank or directly to the display tank)?

I think that adding of a top up container low level sensor can be good idea. How it can be done?
