Can i get some of both also? Lets try this again. i have bullseye mushrooms that i can trade for.

I just went the same thing with a tamato clown and a false percula. the tamato(the bigger one) chased the other for about 6 inches and never messed with him again. they seem to keep to separate sides of the tank. Check out the first link below and see how my clowns interact with each other.

It's a good thing that you're vigilant about water parameters. Sometimes we forget to check and the livestock tends to pay the price. Just keep what you're doing....specially when you add livestock, it might tend to spike a little but nothing like a water change can help.

Just a tip: Try to keep a log when you're testing, adding additives, making water changes, upgrading equipment, adding any livestock (fish, inverts, corals and even more live rock) and even when you change lighting or bulbs. It will help having all the data in the long run. Just something to consider .

i have tried to keep a spreadsheet of info. but i keep forgetting to add to it when it upgrade or do a water change.

I have been trying different things for months to get my nitrate level down to 0ppm. the best i could do was 5-20ppm until i bought that fluval 404 canister filter. i have only had it for two weeks and its made a huge difference. Friday i added a coral beauty and a tomato clown to my tank and thought i would watch the behavior of the two clowns in my tank as well as water parameters thru the weekend. I ended up having two surprises. the clowns kept to themselves and my nitrate level was at 0ppm. I could not believe it. so i checked it again and had the same results. This test was done on Sunday. two weeks ago I took the filter media out of the filter and added live rock then i set it up. i still cant believe my results! i posted a pic of my nitrate level from 3 weeks ago(last water change) and then the two from yesterday using aquarium pharmaceuticals nitrate test kit

Thanks Capty99, the fish are doing well so far.

When I hit the breakout stages (it was moderately bad) of hair algae when my tank was setup, I did a 3-days lights out with only natural lighting lighting the tank. Lack of intense lighting plus the CuC got it under control and no problems. As a matter of course, I do a 3-day lights out every two months now. I finished one the other day and I'm always awed by the polyp extension when the cycle starts up again.

I imagine this would work with cyano outbreak as well.

Sounds like that is something else i have to consider.

I've had good luck with a small siphon hose, either just regular air tubing, or I have some that is just a little bit thicker. Start a siphon and just suck it all out! it usually comes up quite easily, and then is removed from the tank instead of floating around and spreading. The good part about using the smaller hose is that the strength of the siphon is concentrated, and it also doesn't remove a bunch of water.

thanks, thats what i will do. i will have easy access to were it is at.

Just my two cents, but don't over react too much. I believe your tank is pretty new. Diatoms, followed by hair algae, followed by a little cyano seem to be very common at first. I used an old toothbrush and try to let the film stick to the bristles and perhaps roll it around a little to carry it out. It does not spread more, like some algae which releases more spores when disrupted. Increasing your flow may help some. I often hear this but my experience was usually it just moved someplace else where the PH was not blowing directly on. As mentioned I wonder if it isn't a little bit just a new tank syndrome, with the tank trying to get in balance but excess nutrients are generally the main culprit.

My advice, for which you are paying nuttin, and may be the true value, is do all the rountine water maintenance stuff, manually remove with a brush or tiny siphon hose, cut back your light period a little, don't overfeed and try to ride it out a little. I have had some success with that chemical cleaner, which I would use as last resort. Mostly work on water quality and try to work it out naturally. This will be the longer lasting results. IMHO

Bill, i think that would be best. i will try a few things over the weekend and keep u posted.

Looking for it as we speak. It was red slime control made by Blue Life. it worked after one treatment

if you dont mind, i am going to hold off with the chemicals for the weekend and do a water change and see what happens. Its not out of control yet, so i will try to siphon it out then let you know how it went.

You can use a turkey baster to blow it off the rocks and siphon it out or a net for removal.

if i use a brush will it just spread around the tank and affect more rock?

Ive got some stuff for cyano you could borrow if neede.......I waited to use it as a last resort and it worked.

i would like to try it out if you dont mind. how many doses did it take and did you see the affects on anything else?

Am i still in line for a hammer and purple monti? i can pick it up at any time. Hopefully tommorow. call me at 791-5776 or work tommorow 728-4208. Let me know if you still have anything.

I think you folks are right again! if it is cyano could i use a soft bristled brush and scrape it off the live rock and sand or do i have to use a chemical?

Here are the pics. Sorry it took so long.

Here is one pic.

I have tried to post some pics, but they will not upload.

For the last 2 weeks i have noticed that a few bubbles have been stuck to the edges of some of my live rock and snails. when i got home yesterday and looked in my tank i notice a stack of bubbles at the back of it. there were also more bubbles on more rocks. i thought this was bubble algae, but i have had 2 green spheres of bubble algae that have been in my tank since set up. they have never burst or ruptured. Could this be some type of of egg from the snails or fish. i have not had a problem with microbubbles either. I have posted a few pics if some one else has seen this before let me know if i should be worried or not. Thanks!

Thanks Bill for the nice size frags. i'm sure these will give my tank some POP!
