Looking good. Is your setup where you want it to be currentl;y at this stage? I would upgrade to better test kits ie Salifert. Any specific questions?

 

Thanks .Yes what i can do for the algae problem y clean the glass daily i been thinking to get a phosphate reactor i do wc every saturday 3 gallon for water I buy the water ready mix

 

Well I see the big rock with the Ricordia or Yuma is doing well. Looks like everything made it through the cycle. Are you liking the bigger tank better?

 

Yes rock look good lol the problem now is the algae

 

I have to clean the tank daily in this tank and the 10 gallon tank

 

Did the peppermint shrimp munch on the Majano by any chance? Algae will be an issue initially, it's a very common issue with a new tank. Get your phosphates checked. If you're using pre-mixed salt you should not really have a phosphate issue unless the water change water is adding phosphates. If phosphate levels are good than it might just be an issue of letting the tank age. Try a snail or two as well.

 

No the peppermint dont touch the majano you think is a good idea put a phosphate reactor in this tank

 

Your ammonia test doesn't look good. Is it an old kit?

 

dont know is a api
