Sweet build Ryan! Can't wait to see it in person.

Thanks Wayne hope to see you today!!!

so, been a few days - update on algae w/pics

Here you go bryopsis is turning white apparently you can run the fluconazole in your water for up to 14 days it will also kill hair algae people on r2r forum have reported so I'll give it the full 14 day try. This frag has Green hair algae and bryopsis you can see the bryopsis Is white, Gha still green for now.

Anybody have advise on loosing the worm with a fan or whatever it is living in the penthouse suite on this piece ? There's actually 4-5 of them and there in another piece I have.

This one is in bad shape didn't like the dip, also don't really look like tenuis but the colony it came from sure did.

Lots of potential with this one

Delicious 😋

I need some of these frags.

Thanks guys can't wait for them to grow!!!
Todays update on bryopsis Gha kill with fluconazole.
Bryopsis is almost toast Gha still fighting my clean up crew is now eating the bryopsis at night. Today at 8:30 pm will be 7 days with treatment in water I'm going for 14 days as its not bothering anything but the algae.

A very neat looking setup! Well done sir

But there is still bryopsis in the pic you posted Ryan, mine was gone in 3 days with the full dose.

Thanks you

Chris it kills it in 3 days when also using vibrant I'm not using vibrant you are. I've read the vibrant will make it weak then the fluconazole will finish it off in 3-4 days. By the way most the bryopsis is dead and breaking off by now but stuff in low light areas is still holding on for now.

Hey Ryan looks good!!! Hopefully can get the algae under control soon. BTW you got better at taking pics...new camera?

Joking :-)

Looks like I should pop out some time & have a look . Maybe put dibs down on some frags when they grow out !

It's almost gone buddy, pretty happy as I didn't wanna toss all my zoas. As for pics nothing has really changed just using a older Samsung for pics but thanks for compliment.

I'm around all weekend come on by if you have time, I gotta come see you also.

Nice... is coming along very nice.. cant believe those are phone pics good job.. I was going to swing by but the wife put me on paint duty lol...

Happy painting Galizio 😀 come by anytime no rush

So i have a day 11 of using fluconazole in tank update.
Most algae is dead now one thing I have noticed is my no3 has gone from 0-0.2 ppm to now 1ppm this has actually been pretty good for the sps as colour is coming back now. On the down side tanks a bit dirty as in glass gets brown crap every three days. Usually I do 10 percent water change every 7 days so that can't help either.

So in your professional opinion, the stuff works?

Haha professional yes I'm very pleased I just took a toothbrush to all my zoa frags Ill update with more pics tomorrow anything that was hanging on fell right off. On a side note I found 4-5 thick string like algaes I could not identify, they were a bit round on the point after pulling on one it burst fml!! Some type of bubble algae I'm guessing the rest of them were cut right off outta tank hoping for the best.

I think those bubble algae things are related to bryopsis, I could watch them wither away after a Fluc treatment. They took longer to die off than the ferns, actually may still have a few left as well.

Keep it up, looks great!

Thanks Bryant hoping there all gone at this point fluconazole is still in tank tell Thursday night also. I think I could do a water change at this point but it's not hurting anything so I'll continue. Took a few pics today unfortunately the la laker zoas I've had in most pics are still closed up from me brushing last night I'll get a final pic of them on Thursday.

Colour is coming back fast now so excited !!!

I'm not even sure what these are worm with a fan I'm guessing but regardless of what they are there not helping this piece grow. Time to manually remove them. By the way I dipped these pretty good with no results kinda looks like they can seal there opening.
http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/...221_150030.jpg
When outta water they look like this it's the white area circled I basically got a sharp pin and dug the area out, it's a open void once thru skin from there I removed the bug.
http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/...221_150304.jpg
All done

Some funky little bugs hiding in the polyps. Did you only notice them when taking the photos?

No I saw them right away but I've just left them in the past I actually have a frag I bought about 2 years ago with them and it's only ever encrusted I'm guessing from these little guys irritating the top of frag. Anyways both were dealt with yesterday.

Crazy! good share though as I have never saw these before.

Dem feathers be leetle barnacles.

Myka are they harmful in any way?

Theu make the coral grow funny in that spot, but don't seem to really cause much grief. I remove them though because I don't like that funky looking growth.

Thanks! I was just wondering In case I come across them.

Doing my morning dosing and saw this guy cruising.

Ehhhh

Fire the most part I could care less about bristle worms but this one was becoming snake size time to hit the road.

That gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Nasty!!! How did you get that out LOL.

I like to sit back and watch the tank for 5-10 minutes before work in the am during that time I add a few things then feed fish. I left the room the grab bio s from fridge. when I came back it was making its way alone a big Rock I quickly looked for anything to grab It, luckily I had a skewer handy, I ran outta glue last night was digging the corner bits outta bottle lol. I managed to swipe it off the rocks from there it didn't have a chance I was very lucky it was fully outta the rocks. Usually one end is stuck in a hole.

HA HA... Good work!~ That is nasty for sure.

Hate those things...

K day 14 treating bryopsis with fluconazole. I can report it works well all is dead I finished tonight with a 20 gallon water change. I took some pics with my cell phone and a orange cellophane filter works alright they are taken with just blue led on. First pic is the la Lakers the pic I showed on day one , it was a green bush at that point.
