Damnnnn look at all those goodies!!!!!!! Are you concern having all those high end corals and having such a young reef?
Not too high end, only high end I got there is the CSB which is ............no ideal until tomorrow. Stick wise, So far 6/7 is thriving from last order from CC, so I'll see what these big batch does; finger cross.

You mean the Algae on the frag? that's from them. If your talking about Algae from tank, then yep. I only have 4 astra, 4 hermit for 120G lol. I just received a full big order from reefcleaner.org, but I think I might still need some more, or maybe a seahare....

Yea, its weird. I bought from total 4 vendor, and his is only one that has algae growing on the frag putty. Also that type of frag is really annoying moving around with no real base attached to the frag rack.

I think I might have figure out what killed my SPS...........today my red dragon started RTN, but I guess I kind of notice it started few weeks ago. So I started to dose Alk to bring it up to 8.6 from 7.7 in 2 days, and used bunch of epoxy to add new rock structure and glue few frag down.

RIP :
SBB 24K / Tyree Red Dragon.

AH bummer man. I've had issues in the past with red dragon. Not sure why that one gives me trouble. In my 100g it was almost a nuisance piece it grew so well.

Didnt you have a heating issue not to long ago? 1 dkh in 24 hours should not cause this. You also seem to be nutrient heavy based on the back wall, plug, and rock.

I have a chiller, temp stable between 77.5-79. Think I have had the chiller for 3-4 weeks now. I tested my Pho / Nitrate with hanna checker, came out at PO: 0.01-0.03 and Nitrate at 0.00 (High range).

I am dosing a lot of acropower / easy reef booster pro / easy sps evo/ reef roid/ oyster feast. Think I put in too much crap in there?

Lot's of stuff for such a young system, in my opinion.

How'd the water you pulled out look from you water change? nice and clear or was it tinted yellow at all?

Absolutely. Corals can only uptake so much. Over 90% of coral growth is photosynthetic. This idea of aquariums being nutrient deficient is very flawed. All those. Things are signs of excess

Soo all my diatom and weird algae disappear few nights ago over night. Water changed, dosing acro power, and feeding easy sps evo / easy reef booster. Epoxy most coral to rock, oh and I think I see new Coraline algae is growing on glass.
