marshalll Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 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!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshalll Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowtang Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 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 , Bigmike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But think its out of place. Still waiting for time to do a rescape to make it a centre piece! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshalll Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshalll Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
