The kole, yellow, and idol eat it all day, it's just at the level that it will take 6 months to a year for them to get rid of it, so it seems, or i can kill it back to a manageable amount and let them keep it in check.
Well, the hair algae is not growing much, i don't think it's being eaten fast enough either. Gonna give the algaefix marine a try out on this, just need to get it to the point to where my herbivores can handle the growth in the tank. Nitrates and phosphates are already at 0, it's just a matter...
It's usually better to treat the fish in a separate tank because the things that we use to treat it like copper will get sucked into the live rock and leach back into the tank.
If you dose your reef, i just go with instant ocean and add any calc that it is lacking, maybe a bit of mag as well. dkh is usually around 9 with the mix.
It's not fun, you may loose a few more in the q/t. it's also hard leaving the tank sit without fish for long enough for whatever's in the water to die off as well, but it's worth it to have healthy fish.
All fish, if it's in the system chances are all fish have or will be infected. Velvet tends to kill fast, it's better to get to the fish before they are showing severe symptoms than to wait. They could possibly get too much gill damage or stressed to the point where they don't eat anymore. I...
I wouldn't worry too much, it's what they do. I had a Kenyan tree shrivel up for a week or two and come back just fine. I believe they do shed at times as well.
That sucks, i didn't lose everything but after i had my new tank set up and had an outbreak of ich knock out most of my fish, right after that bryopsis and hair algae took hold. I was wondering why i even set up a tank at that point. I kept with it though and fish are back and good, bryopsis is...
I did last time i went to one, he's just been taking his nap later in the day lately, if he sleeps til 3 like he's been doing it might be a no go for me, we will see.
If i will be able to make it to this one or not i guess is going to be determined by my sons nap, i know i'll be late at the very least, depending on what time he wakes up, i might be able to make it by 3pm.
Kinda why i'm throwing it out there, i had three separate experiences and was able to duplicate what worked, by no means is that proof, but maybe theres something there.
