The tank is having a few nasty outbreaks. I'm experiencing cyano, and in the last two days a sudden bloom of green hair algae.
Lately every time I do something in the tank I seem to make an accidental frag, so I have a bunch of frags I'm starting to grow out for sale.
I'm seeing my SPS coloring up with brighter, and more distinct colors.
This is a frag from 5/23
This is the same frag on 5/25
Under the actinics only
I expect it to eventually darken out like its parent
I recently added more inverts to my cleaning crew. I added in bumblebee snails, and blue leg hermits to help give more live to the tank, and for some added benefits.
I will be fixing the lighting issue (too yellow) this weekend, by replacing the 10,000K PC bulb with an actinic.
The plan right now is to
- figure out whats wrong with my auto-top off float switches
- combat the green hair algae
- combat the cyano
- Ensure my Ca levels stay steady via the kalk. reactor
- Look into a calcium reactor, and a 2.5lb CO2 bottle.
- stop making accidental frags
