Barely touch this one. Top off, dose alk, done. Gordon and the wrasse handle the rest, apparently.

ugh algae

So we've got an algae outbreak and it's testing me. Rocks are covered, corals still small so there's nowhere for it to hide, just watching green fuzz every morning like it'll leave on its own.

Note

meet the crew

First fish are in, bag was floating up top acclimating forever. Naming the six line wrasse Gordon because he's already got attitude, firefish doesn't have a name yet, still deciding if he's earned one.

YYuki BrooksQuestion

Started as a shrimp tank and turned into a full reef, love that. Is the goniopora new or did it survive the whole transition?

Tank owner replied

Ha it was never a shrimp tank, might be thinking of a different one. Goniopora's been in since early on, made it through the algae phase and everything so I'm counting that as a win

How's the goniopora doing under the 600EA? Mine sulks unless flow is indirect. Any polyp extension issues in the corners?

Started as a shrimp tank huh... That escalation is relatable. The chalice and zoas look great for 25g, way more than I'd expect out of that footprint

How's the favia and goniopora getting along flow-wise in a 25? Always feels tight fitting LPS and softies without shading each other out.

Firefish goby in a 25g shrimp-tank-gone-wrong is exactly the kind of scope creep I respect... How's the six line getting along with everyone

That chalice color is wild... How far off the sand is it sitting

Tank owner replied

Couple inches off the sand, wanted it up on the rock where flow's better. Any lower and I think it'd sulk

JJenny Jackson

Zoas and the chalice make a nice contrast in there. How's the goniopora holding up, that genus can be fussy.
