Re: Melonbob's 46g build!

increase water changes from twice a month to weekly. You corals only need 4 hours of light a day. We keep them on longer because we want to see our tanks with good light on them. Run a phosphate remover as well and it will go away

Re: Melonbob's 46g build!

Im gonna say,go a step farther and do 20% water change once a week.
Start running some chemi-pure elite along with Marine SAT and the hair will be gone before you know it.

Re: Melonbob's 46g build!

I'm just gonna update, I hate @#$!*&NG algae! Green hair has receeded, now looks like a flourescent green powder all over the place, and the %$@#*ng Diatoms are back, settling like brown shit wherever the green shit isn't.....grrrr! I still gotta get some phosphate remover, although my tests are nil. Sea hare isn't keeping up to well.......I'll give him credit for trying though.

Re: Melonbob's 46g build!

On a positive note, we have some great additions over the past little while, we got a green star polyp frag, plus another one which I can't remember right now, Melissa bought a frogspawn, and we picked up a royal gramma. Everything is doing well, I'll let you know later about the frogspawn as we are dropping it as I write
