-

-
thanks for the answer bro.
-
where could i buy this?
-
NIcely done. Im thinking about doing it the same way being that I have a rimless tank.
Bro, did you use acrylic for the frame? can you share how was it done? how did you fix the net to the frame? by the way, i also ordered from the same seller in the US.
My completed tank cover. Hope it works.

+1 on the alk. check your alk if it is low. correct it then you should be able to increase Mg.

Thanks for your reply. Since your previous tubes were combination of ATI and Giesemann, I cannot relate when you say that the Pacific Sun looks bluer. But would you be able to say the the Crystal Blue is bluer that the ATO Blue Plus?
Thanks and best regards.
"When compare with my previous combinations of ati n giesemann tubes of similar colour spectrum, IMO Pacific Sun look a little more bluish while PAR wise, I can't comment bcos of new n old tubes (6 are new n 2 are 4 mths old).
Your current tube combination was my best option, however u can try replacing actinic with pigment INT ( ati purple +)." -
very nice tank. if you don't mind, how do you compare it to your previous tubes PAR and color rendition wise?
what tube combination would you suggest for a 4 t5 ati powermodule hybrid? my current tubes are 2 blue+. coral+ and actinic. im looking for better color on my corals.
im thinking about trying pac sun this time.

What LED were you using?
AI VEGA

I gave up LED for an ATI Power module hybrid and improvements in growth and color is immediate.

I tried ATM Outbreak and could say that it's a total waste of money. I have used up 3 bottles (i still have one bottle remaining) and never saw any changes/improvement in my tank i.e., slow down of algae film build up in glass, less detritus build up, etc. in fact i have noticed the opposite. Plus, as per dosing instructions in the bottle, you need to use a lot of this stuff as compared to other bacteria products that only require a few drops per day or an ampoule every 15 days.
I would say Outbreak is all hype.
-
just to add to what bombom has said, it is natural for angels to nip on anything, rubble, rock, coral base, etc. even if they are fed very well they will still nip. what you suggested to do sounds like a good idea and may save you from difficulty of catching the flame in case it turns out to show a liking to your sps and zoas. good luck.
-
i keep an SPS dominated tank and i have kept a flame for more than a year already. i got it as a juvi and at the start, i sometimes see it nipping some of my sps during the time my tank and corals were not doing well (STN) but shortly and eventually he behaved after i managed to get my tank stable and my SPS back to good health. i read somewhere that flame angels tend to nip on coral/SPS tissues that are not healthy and i tend to believe that due to my experience. by the way, my tank is 5 x 2 x 2 and i would say that my taking the risk of adding it to my tank paid off.

Hi, the surest, cheapest and fastest way to reduce your phosphate is by using lanthanum chloride together with using a 10 micron filter sock. Search the net for the proper dilution to water. If indeed your rocks are leaching PO4, it would take some time to rid it of po4. Good luck.
-
bro blackcell, any update on your use of this product? can you share your experience more specifically i.e., what were your nitrate, phosphate levels before treatment and at present.
was your sandbed "dirty" when you started and now became clean?

thanks for the info bro. will try this product.

What size of bottle is this $20, 4 oz, 8oz or 16 oz?
It's about $20 plus per bottle. They are retailing this at green chapter. I bought my from Westcoast aquarium. Pour direct to main tank, I pour half for my 5ft tank every week. So far it's really good. I don't dose any other stuff, except weekly dosing of ca,mg and coral colors from Red Sea... Please call them, the last i check they are out of stock.. Please make sure you get the marine version of the outbreak...
Do you smell what my tank is cooking.. -
I would suggest newly hatched brine shrimp. This has never failed me into encouraging any fish, specialy small ones to feed.
-
Also, increase water flow in the tank (specially in the lower part) if possible.
-
Thanks bro but I have already ordered 6 pucks from AI. Just awaiting delivery. Already excited to try it out.

Im also using reef vitality but have not experienced this. What I have experienced is diatom outbreak but now under control. I think an overdose of color elements was the reason for it. I used to dose 18ml per week of elements (still within the recommended dosage for a 100g tank). I still dose RV as per instructions but under/sparingly dose the color elements to 1.5ml/25g (purple/blue and purple/red) and temporarily stopped the blue/green for now since it contains iron that fuels algae growth.
How big is your tank and how much do you dose. As cautioned before, DO NOT dose vitality and elements on the same day. They should be dosed 2 days apart.
Good luck.

Did you acclimate them before introduction to the tank?

thanks for the info bro. YGPM.
