Hey - tanks been up and running for about 2 years now. Just recently moved to Manhattan and started getting the tank back and flourishing again.


Let me know thoughts/opinions

Definitely see the potential. I suggest taking care of some of that algae before you start stocking up again.

A clean up crew should take care of that issue but nice nano

Attached are some more pics.

Added 2 snails this past weekend.

I am a little/ a lot worried about the 2 frags I attached. Any help with either would be greatly appreciated

Hey all - just got my water parameters tested at a LFS. Everything was good, calcium a little low (320) so I bought Kent's liquid calcium. How often do you suggest that I add it to the tank? Also, (might be a dumb question) but do i just add drops into the tank? or into a smaller cup with some water and then pour that in??

Also bought Coral -Vite which i will start to feed into the tank directly every other day as part of their diet.

I have the regular salt test kit and now also buying a calcium and kh test kits so I dont have to go to a LFS to get them tested all the time.

Let me know thoughts on calcium and coral vite

Update!

apparently my calcium and feeding was a bit low. I have been adding calcium every few nights and coralvite every other night. As well as feeding mysis shrimp on the off nights. Last night I tested calcium and KH and both were in good ranges.

Calcium was 440
KH took 10 drops

Here is an updated pic with the frags recovering and starting to look great again.

I plan to attack the algae this weekend, is there any suggestions better then just using the glass scraper and really digging at it

get yourself a nice Clean up crew and make sure your using RODI or distilled water and it should rectify itself.

Ive got two really aggressive snails that do a great job on the back wall and our trying to clean the glass but it seems that some of the algae on the glass is to tough for the snails
