Uv sterlizer taken off, dosed live bacteria and live phyto from CoralHub. The live bacteria is the real deal! Highly pungent meaning it’s the good stuff. Follow recommended dosing hopefully seed the tank to out compete the dinos. Definitely recommend CoralHub live bacteria and phyto. Will be...

Lights on, just blue no white no casualty yet also lower the intensity.

I see some diatoms. Hopefully 3 days blackout helps. Will be dosing silicates once arrive tomorrow.

$9.49 and arrive next day. Works great for the job. 1 AA battery power. Comes with slides with samples, ok just use the non sample side. Hard to focus , if hold on it focus better. Actually pretty good for saltwater reefing needs, for the price and delivery speed. Same view as a $200 microscope.

Day 2 blackout -no visible dinos. Confirmed with microscope I’ve bought on Amazon it’s ostreopsis. Typical tear drop spinning in circle. Uv sterlizer just arrived and installed. Waiting on some live bacteria and phyto from coral hub. Goal: lights on Thursday morning

Day 1 blackout , looking to end Wednesday maybe Thursday depending on how it looks. Already order some live bacteria from Nathan, Coral Hub and phyto.

Any Phodactis still alive ? I got one back from Tin but it lost all bounce look like a reg. rhodactis, time will tell. Gotta spot feed it food and time for it to bounce. Will keep everyone updated on it maybe it will turn back. It doesn’t drop babies it split itself like an anemone

Looking back at my old tank journals, I’m inspired by the Rsr350 build: torches top, lps mixed bottom. Since current build is im25 won’t be a lot of torches/ hammers. Hopefully this time less work cus it’s a smaller tank. Rsr350 was technically a mixed reef but seem torch dominated :) it was fun...

Also would like to add I didn’t get diatom blooms initial start, just crazy hair algae. So I think this maybe diatoms bloom( ugly stage). What do you guys think. About 2 months mark.

Algae blenny still chomping on the rocks.

Bunch of pods

Lone 1 trochus snail if it dies it’s Dino’s. 1 fighting conch.

No clue what kind of film? Any experience if Dino’s/ diatoms /cyano

I really hope it’s cyano/diatoms. Dino’s pain to rid of depending on variety.

I think I may have Dino or diatoms. Thing is I feed heavily. Now don’t know because I don’t have microscope. Start appearing after pouring 2 bottles of copepods from reef nutrition. That and I add some new biomedia, hence possibly (diatoms).

New scape. Doing anemone island hopefully anemone stays. Anyone else done island before, did it work

I did co2 scrubber with my old build rsr350 at shop with a refugium/ chaeto in sump. Got pretty good ph throughout the day annd night 8.0-8.4 day/night. Elevated ph help with growth. First time trying all for reef. That’s all I have for now. Already order brs alk , calcium, and magnesium (1gal...

7.0alk 425 ca 1290 mag beach bum and encrusting montipora from cfm aren’t doing too good, I guess ph/alk swing killing em, already ordered a doser and liquid dosing hopefully not too late saving them. For now manual all for reef dosing til items arrive. Looking to dose at night several times to...
