If you buy LR from LFS, some of them might comes with hitchhiker such as bristle worm, algaes and misc creepers.
Therefore, some people prefer to use dead rocks instead. Overtime, the bacteria in your existing live rock will populate over the areas of the dead rock, turning it into a "live" one over time.
Ok, just thot if there's any easy way to flush out these unwanted hitchhikers since most LFS sells LR.

pic attached. found this pic on internet
Hmm...from the pic, I think should be able to use as a biopellet reactor ba.
But personally, I never use one b4.

Cute little fellow there.

It might be becos it is LED... There were no problem with reefers using T5 and PL...
ic ic....thanks, bro.

Brand wise 3 of them all good. ADA is good but ex and doesn't comes with any filtration & lights. Ecopico got a good LED lights but only simple circulation pump. Skimz Ibox got overflow and LED thus more value for $.

I've placed my chaeto in a beta box, current lights on 24/7. Seems to be shrinking and breaking off bit by bit. Not much space in the beta box for it to tumble and toss. Wondered if its ok in box or just out in the refuge tank? Any advice, anyone?

Hi, I hv some to spare, collection @ Woodlands AVE1 area after working hour. PM me if interested. Cheers..
Bro, still have any more to spare? I'm also staying woodlands.

Gotta take the good with the bad. Over time, beneficial bacteria form your tank will migrate onto the new rocks.
ok, confused here...then why choose LR over dead rocks?

My percula clowns down with clown fish diseases. Already taken one of them
Feeding the other with some parasite medicated food. Doesn't seem to help a lot.

Some Neomeris annulata growing in my tank,

I believe you are talking about caulerpa sp which is the most common algae that you can find in LFS..
They will turn asexual in unacceptable conditions and it might crash your tank if large amount turn asexual and your tank will turn cloudy.. Asexual = Turning White..
If you really wanna keep them, keep them in a 24/7 refugium...
If you really want to use for nutrient export, go for chaeto but only large amount will work..
As for Cyanobacteria, there is several causes, low flow in the area, high amount of DOC and high phosphate... Pin point the problem will help you solve it easier...
Chaeto a bit hard to grow sometimes, mine seem to be shrinking in size and breaking off bit by bit, My flow seems quite strong, Lighting i'm using beamswork LED 200, dunno if that's good enough.

Fresh water then coralrx? Normally I do that for corals before gg into tank...
1 large pail, power head/wave maker, submerge rock in solution, 15mins of saturation, most guest, hitchhikers bye bye...
Using freshwater? Won't it destroy some of the beneficial bacteria in the LR?
-
How about the snail?
Yes..sometimes my hammer will be on the floor bed the next morning....sometimes even my rock will be shifted down!
I got the exact same snail as urs. I juz put it in my refugium. Dun think it is harmful.

Thanks bro. A really really strange thing happened this morning. After I woke up and went to check my tank - all the green algae turned back to green again!
This is really puzzling because I never know that algae will turn color at night and turn green again in the morning.
I swear! They were white last night 2am when I saw them
Yes, green marine plants do turned white when lights are off. But if it remained white for too long, it means it's not healthy and could be dying off slowly. Lack of food and lights are mostly the reasons.

Get my brother to help me take a picture, first time my tank is not blue!!!!!!!! lol
Filling up nicely, bro!!

Yo bro. How ur lps doin. Try put in a shaded spot. Once e color return bk, u can place it out of shade bk. ive a red chaclice tat bleech from bright red to white. After placing it in a shaded spot for 4 mths, e color come bk... Will try to post e pic in my tank thread.
Thanks for the concern, bro. The plate after putting in shaded area, still the same. The red lobo also show no improvement but I never place it under shades. In the meantime, I only on my two par38s 2 hrs in the middle of the photoperiod & 1 hr after lights out. Hope to reduce the intensity of the lightings.
