theres actually several tanks like that in hong kong, thats the norm for them. they do however practice strict water change routines, water is changed out on a daily basis theres def no room for aggression in a tank that stocked but i do admit, it makes me nervous to look at

I have to disagree also I use tap water and i actually have less problems then when i used RO i keep softees and lps in my 220 gallon reef my water isnt as good as NYC' water ( im a native ny'er) im now in pennsylvania where the water taste horrible, it has chloramines, ammonia and 20 ppm...

I put in algae magic by marc weiss ive been scraping it with kents pro scraper, it is a metal blade just thought maybe someone would know if this stuff or any other algaecide would effectively kill off coralline, i see no one is really experienced enough to give a straight forward answer. I dont...

My fish only tank is plagued with green hard coralline on the back glass and sides. Its harder to remove than pink coralline. Ive been using the kent pro scraper with metal blade and i barely put a dent in this stuff. Its really beyond my control. so i thought if an algaecide would be effective...

wow those are hot looking kellogi's they dont look like kellogi to me, but im not a seahorse expert your coral banded shrimp is ok with them? i had a pyscho one that killed several fish right in front of my eyes in my small nano cube, she was pretty gruesome. i gave her away to someone...

you mean those little polka dots everything checks in at zero. phosphates however, well theres no true phosphate test out there, its one of the hardest things to test for which is why i dont bother. the hair algae should be soaking it up like a sponge, either way this isnt anyting to fret...
