Hey reefers, I am interested in buying a Monti from an online store, but would like some help with ID. It is described as a 'Scrolling Montipora',...
I did wonder about decreasing it fast. That's why I left it at 85F to lower slowly, but yes, I can see that the 10F swing was too much. I've never...
We had a freakishly hot day (for where I live) on Tuesday. I came home to a house like a sauna and my tank at 35C (95F) :-[. I immediately did a...
Nice! What time period are we looking at here?
So another update. My partner had surgery so I haven't done most of the things I intended to do, but... It's been 4 weeks since I finished the...
That's why I asked! I figured the three diodes within each star would run in parallel, and hence only receive 1/3 of the current i.e. 350mA...
Would it be possible to run an RGB LED rated at 3x 350mA per diode on a Meanwell 1050mA constant current driver? I am looking at these diodes:...
In saying that I am on well water, I think it's pretty good for a well. TDS out of the well is ~80ppm. In fact, the Christchurch city tap water is...
OK I will get a silicate test kit when I can find one (marine aquarium supplies are rare here in New Zealand). My RODI water reads at 0ppm, but yes...
Already running GFO. Have replaced it every 2 weeks with this algae issue. DI resin is only a few months old and would have had about 300L max...
I sent blackraven a pm, hopefully he can give me some advice. But someone else must have encountered and beaten this! Anyone????
Ok so I think it's about time for an update... I tried raising pH and Mag for ~2 weeks on top of not having done a water change for >1 month....
Looking closely, this algae seems to be light dependent as it is not growing on any shaded surfaces. Because of this, I am thinking of doing a 3 day...
Nope - been following the egg crate/chrysophyte thread but I have no egg crate to remove to help the situation! Dinoflagellates were my first...
Pretty sure it's not a sponge - I've never heard of a sponge that can grow as fast as this. It is also very slimy and easily sucked through a...
Any advice now that the US is awake?! I always forget that the world is asleep when I post things!
So does everyone still agree it looks like Chrysophytes? It is growing like crazy now! These pictures are 4 days growth and you can see it is...
The first thing I would do is get a second test result either from a fellow reefer, or a LSF. The reason I say this is a 30% water change with 0 PO4...
Have you had any luck yet? Is the algae starting to disappear or is it still going strong? Mine seems to be growing faster than ever!
It certainly does look like the picture for chrysophytes. Has anyone had any experience in dealing with this algae, or can offer any tips? The info...
