    How to eliminate algae

    in New to the Marine Aquaria Hobby

    Posted

    Im fighting some brown looking algae for the past 2 weeks. Most likely got it from the rocks in old tank. I have a missing yellow watchman goby. Could have been a cause too? (I really can pinpoint) 

    Its driving me nuts! I have been washing the protein skimmer cup and changing the wool daily. Changed the position of the wavemaker, even ordered another one. Bacteria dosing, cleaning the glass. It has improved a bit, but seems like it always come back with a vengence. Any advice bros? Trying not to use chemi clean as my tank is still pretty new.

    Thanks!

    Forgot to mention. My water parameters are :

    Calcium 420

    Akalinity 9.2

    Magnesium 1280

    Nitrates 10<

    Ammonia 0

    Phosphates 0

    Salinity 10.25

    PH 8.1-8.25 (should i add some buffers)?

    Need help on Black ich?

    ‘Black ich’ is actually a parasitic worm. If I’m not mistaken, praziquantel works for this. Doesn’t work on regular ich cause regular ich is a protozoan parasite and not a worm.

     

    Praziquantel should be Reef-safe unless you have ornamental worms in your system. But as with any other treatment a QT is always the most ideal

    Yup black ich is a flat worm like planaria. My yellow tang had black ich before.. Luckily in qt though.. But he had to go through 10 days of prazi before the black ich was all gone. Gd luck

    Thanks for the replies bros. Took me an hour plus (accumulated) to catch the yellow tang. Tying very hard not to destroy any corals for damage anything lol. 

    Only managed to dip it for about 3-5nins as he’s showed a bit of stress and pooed quite a bit. Initially, when I put him in the net, I was disappointed. They were still there. After I put him back in the DT, all disappeared. Guessed it worked both ways. 

    Hopefully I won’t be able to find any more. If not, will have to dose praziquantel. Going to monitor him a few days. Unfortunately, will be away for a short trip tomorrow. 

    I bought a cleaner shrimp too. Hope it help!

    Thanks again!

    Can anyone confirm if this is cyano? It’s getting a bit worse than this. I shifted the rocks for better flow and increased the water flow. I have to clear the skimmer cup and change wool everyday as it can be quite dirty. 

    Current parameters

    Nitrates 10

    Phosphate 0

    Ammonia 0

    Calcium 420

    Alkalinity 9.2

    Any inputs will be appreciated. Thanks.

    Torch issue

    I’m having the same issue for 2 of my 5 head octo. The funny thing is, one seems like recovering after coral X dip. The other one should be a goner. Waiting for it to die and cut off the head. Definitely not a flow or light issue as the other 3 are thriving........and I don’t see any brown jelly.....

    Added some more corals after dipping them into Bayer Advance. 

    Will observe n move them around to best suit them.

    Thanks for the prompt reply sis. Actually, the octo has this issue when I bought it. Inexperienced lol. The funny thing Is 3 branches are thriving and 2 dying....been arranging them for the past week. All 3 no matter where I put also happy. On the 2 branches unhappy (total 5 branches)...hard to please. Can U post the light for the refugium? Mine is just as small. Lol

    Your corals looking gd except 1 looks like receding tissue? 

    Is it the bleeding apple? It was like that when I bought it. lol. Cheap thing not good. Looks better than when I first bought it. 

    But I’m really having issue with my octo. 2 heads not doing well. Heard from some brothers that octo can just die on u anytime without warning. Faint. 

    BTW sis, any good recommendation for refugium light. Due to tights space. It has to be small. TIA

    New gadget again:)  Magnetic probe holder for the pH probe.

    P1013314 (Large).jpg

     

    Both the wet & dry side are well sealed. This is acrylic, so the joints are usually very robust.P1013313 (Large).jpg

     

    Testing it out to hold an egg crate on 15mm glass. Works great to hold frags.

    P1013304 (Large).jpg

    P1013307 (Large).jpg

     

    Using it for the pH probe for now. These magnetic holders are  convenient to place the probes/sensors or float switches at the right levels.

    Should have gotten 2 sets instead.

    I usually get a PMs on where to buy new gadgets I share in my thread. This one is from ReefMarketSG. Very reasonable price. 

    Nice. But I couldn’t find the product on their website website! Lol

    I agree totally now lol. The bigger the DT the more tiring it is. The bigger ur sump tank, the easier it is. Can accommodate mistakes better too! Lol

    Having some cyano problem. Likely contributed by a few factors.

    1. Was trying to feed my yellow tang more as the Clarkii clown snatched 90% of the food. Also tried algae wafers (they loved it but stuck under the rocks)

    2. Flow wasnt enough. 

    3. Skimmer was overflowing. Was working well last few days. (Erratic)

    Used an old FW aquarium light for refugium. Apparently, the new Red Sea Reefers come equipped with refugium. 

    Bought a power backup for the wavemaker Incase of emergency. Going on a long holiday soon. Getting worried. Lol 

    Time to buy some Chaeto tom!
