Never feed mine directly and it has gained three heads in about 3 months. Good water, moderate current and good MH lights. That is all mine has and it is doing great.

Yes the first pic is green coralline algea. No idea as to the second pic.

Strong lighting does not keep coralline from growing although it can cause a different color to form. Try raising calcium a little. It should be closer to 425. Another way to spread the stuff is to scrub a rock that has good coverage inside the tank. Do this in a high flow area. I have done...

I have used it for diatom issues and it did seem to work. After my supply ran out the diatoms came back. They are not bad but annoying just the same. My nitrates were reading zero when using the product.

Can someone tell me the name of the nudibranch that has a diet of strictly apitasia? I know there is one and I am looking to make a purchase, but cannot seem to find it anywhere. :notsure:

That's a very nice set of pics.

I have had mine stay closed for nearly a week. If you don't start to notice any loosening of the mat or discoloration you will be fine.

I am curious about the light as well.

Thanks for the posts guys.

No one?? :notsure:

I have now had two lawnmower blennies die on me. They are fat and eating flake food when I get them. After a couple of months in my tank they get paper thin and die. I put nori in the tank and everything. My SPS amd LPS corals are doing fine. I also have a powder brown tang and a six line...

It most certainly would. Those nano cubes are really something.
