Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
You have already tried different foods and that is the best I would think you can do for now. Try not to stress him out at all. Keep your hands out of the tank and things like that.
so that makes me think............. The Algae needs the extra nutrients in the water to feed its growth so right now there may be too much nutrients in the water but if you keep doing that woudn't that start to take the good stuff out? (Remember, I am an begginer at this)
I didn't do water changes for the firts 6 months or so on my 240 and then I did one and all my corals seemed MUCH happier. Everything was growing before but now it is REALLY good.
I just recently redesigned mine because I made the return section too small. That is were the evap starts and if you don't have an ATO you may end up with issues there.
I have mixed the smaller sand BUT the problem really is that it may blow away with the flow. As far as the aiptasia I have heard horror stories about that so I would watch out with that.
