Hey guys! sory ive been gone so long. Life caught up with me and been stupid busy. BUT great news. since my last thread Ive finally started stocking the tank.
My 180 now consists of
1 sailfin tang
1 foxface rabbitfish
2 cleaner shrimp
4 turbo snails
1 red coris wrasse
1 mandarin goby (doing GREAT as well)
5 green chromis
1 frogspawn
1 open brain
1 wall hammer colony
1 pulsing xenia colony
1 flowerpot colony
The last 4 were added yesterday. My wife went on a shopping spree.
She still hasn't learned to research before you buy pretty things.
So, I need help with the following.
lighting, water flow and "food" for the corals.
my next problem is I have what appears to be green cyano covering ALL of my rock. well the dude at the LFS told me its cyano. took a small piece of rock covered in it and put it in a small container with a scoopfull of chemiclean and nothing.
All my parameters are good except for nitrates. they're a lil high
when the LFS tested phosphate it was at 1 ppm
added phosban and tested the water after an hour and phos was at either 0 or 0.03.
about to test again. What can I do to get rid of the green cyano that has taken over my rock??
Ill post pics of everything once i turn on the lights.
