My 100X75X60 (high bio-load tank)

[marshalll]

Hi guys! It's really been ages since I last posted any updates!

[marshalll]

Accidentally pressed send! Haha!

Anyways, there are no new additions to my tank for quite some time now.

Only doing water change once Every two weeks.

Having major green grapes growing non stop. Covering the corals and all. Sometimes really feel like giving up.

Some sps didn't make it but all the birdnest, radioactive and montis are still doing great.

Livestock still surviving well and my GA is still alive! It's still a very shy fish though have never really seen him eat.

Anyone know of a good remedy for the green grape prob!?

oh.. the dreaded bubble algae.. i kena once and decided to decom and change tanks.

if the bubble burst in water it will populate even more. so if you are removing it under water, remove delicately and pluck it out in 1 pc.

Fear not, marshall. I read it somewhere that certain fish can take care of this green grapes. I will check it up at home. In meantime, you should be more careful with physical removal, reason as mentioned by lawchan. The deadly spores! I am battling against hair grass but i am on the upper hand.

cheers

[marshalll]

Haha.. I just keep plucking. Didn't really care if they burst. Craps!

It's getting annoying. Some went in between my sps and it's damn hard to pluck.

It's really not easy to juggle between work and this hobby.

Hahaa. Just cleared away the green bubble last weekend. Will post some pics later. But still very dirty.

The front and side view of my tank after major clearing of the bubble algae.

Still alot of algaes everywhere though.

Hmm... I got problem now wif green hairy algae, my astrea snails & tuxedo urchin seem to stay away from those. Any idea which CUC eats them?

Sorry bro.. Not sure too.. I think More regular water change should help...

[Admiraltian]

Ok, faster way is getting some CUC.

[marshalll]

My GSP growing on the wall.

Some random shots...

[marshalll]

Some more pics...

[marshalll]

Nice matured tank speaks volume of passion and excellent husbandry of this young reef owner.

The Sps is indeed pink pocillopora.

Great work! Great tank!

The giant Clam reminds me of my ex clam.

Cheers ,

Thank you for your kind words uncle mike!

Haha! It's your big clam that inspired me to get this one for my tank! But think its out of place. Still waiting for time to do a rescape to make it a centre piece!

[marshalll]

Sad news...

Saw my blue eye anthias dead this morning. With a hole in her belly. The crabs in my tank are getting out of hand. Getting bigger. She must have been caught by one of the crabs when she was sleeping last night.

Another bad news is that my mystery wrasse has been missing a few days now and I suspect the same thing happen.

[marshalll]

Some pics taken under actinic blue light.

[marshalll]

Added purple light recently.

[marshalll]

And my anemone split into two!

[marshalll]

Lastly got two new additions to my tank. Was keeping my fingers crossed that my yellow tang don't bully them.

[marshalll]

water change today. Bought my dosing elements and did a minor rescape and shifting of corals. Backache.

Finally shift a little of the rocks and move my clam deeper/middle of the tank.

My BTA that splited.

[marshalll]

And knocked onto some corals:(
