Ska's 28 Macro Algae Display

[ferret]

You have created a good environment for keeping pipe fish if you'll like give a try. For curious, what type of algae at the uppermost of the tank at left hand corner and middle is that sargassum?

[don.ald]

well, you have certainly mastered the macro display! looks great.

Upper left, are you talking of the red macro? If so thats common red halymenia, not the pretty orange tipped dragons tongue, although I do have that too. If your talking about whats floating and is orange/brown/yellow then thats sargassum.

I actually really want to try pipefish or seahorses but the cost is not to my liking and I dont feed live foods, just a variety of pellets and coral foods.

And thank you. It certainly has become a macro tank. I love it. My family comes to see it and they say its beautiful and think its all corals lol. I tell them no its algae and they respond, isint algae bad?

Yes yes it is, but im a bad girl :P

Groovy lookin tank ska ;^). Nice to see it mature so fast! You dosing anything special?

[skabooya]

just dosing what I said above. KNO3, KH2PO4, iron, trace elements, amino acids, calcium/mag, baking soda, iodine, and of course weekly feedings of various coral food and daily feedings for the fish.

Havent changed the water in months.

HOLY SH*T! That's alot lol. All I dose is Iron. What type/ brand of ammino acids do you use/ dose? And where do you get them?

the tank looks awesome when its overgrown like that. you should try and scape using the macro to create a zen garden or some kind of picture with tit.
