Hi guys, was wondering if you could help me on this. I've suddenly had these grow out of some of my rocks. Dont think it's an anemone. Its looks like thin wire. But obviously not. Dark in colour and less then 10mm.

Thanks for the help Captain Ron. I managed to eventually control the hair green algae somewhat. Unfortunately this gave rise to dinoflagellatus which happened so fast. In hindsight the mass of hair algae was taking any nutrients before the dino could get it and multiply. As soon as I reduced...

Sorry I seemed to have missed our a large part of the last message. I use marine pellets and kind of hand feed the clown as hes pretty tame so not much gets away from him. The shrimp are quick at catching it too. The mysis shrimp is a small cube which I cut up and use a baster to target feed...

The tank wasnt fully scrubbed as I have too much other life under it all. But it does grow an impressive amount each week. Luckily the glass isnt a major issue just the rocks.

Half a cube of mysth shrimp twice a week and literally a pinch once a day. I target feed everything in .y tank so less debris floating about.

I think you are right on the toxicity issue, that's what I believed happened. It's not something I would have added myself. But he still got in lol

Those pictures are 3 days after a good brushing and cleaning of the algae.

My lights over all are on for 12 hours a day in total just a miss type :) 4 hrs of white and 12 of blue crossing over.so dark for 12 lit for 12.8am to 8pm blue 12pm-4pm whites. Cant blast the rocks out side the tank as I seem to have Zoas spread in different places on them. And I do Turkey...

I'm running a canister filter which gets cleaned every week alongside a 20% water change. Same as I've always done. I run carbon as well. I use a surface skimmer at the moment as I'm struggling to find a good small protein skimmer for the tank,(been like that since I started it) as it doesn't...

Hi thanks for the reply. Well after doing a 80+ water change after the massacre it all stabilised. My levels are all in good range. But my P04 is a little high at 0.1. Which since I've still got a massive green hair algae problem its obviously higher then that but is just being taken up with...

Morning all, I need a little advice. My tank had massive issues with algae which ice been battling with, with some help and advice from people on here and the lfs. Parameters have been ok. Apart from the obvious false negative on my PO4, since I had algae. I found a dead fish on the morning...

I'm going to run the phostphate remover again in case that is the case with the algae. It was the brown algae which was bad but I took the phostphate remover out the canister because It was a little too low levels. Obviously a false negative reading. I use RO water. The filters get cleaned...

No it started to spike before the deep clean and removal of some rock. I still have a hell of a lot of rock in there, I just needed to move some out so in the long run I can clean it better. But yea I do believe it went through another cycle. I've changed the filter media to a different set up...

Hi guys, I was wondering if I could ask a few questions and seek some advice. I got a Fluval M60 second hand off of a guy. It had been running for a couple of years. When I got it it had plenty of rock sand already in. Plenty of micro life in both. 2 clown fish Angel (died 2 days later prob too...
