I’m in Beachwood / Toms River area

I need to find ones that are a decent size.

I have turned off my T5’s since this began and just run leds right now. The worst is when I vacuum the back of the tank where I can’t see I suck up a lot of GHA. I have been dosing live phyto. Is Microbacter 7 same concept as carbon dosing. I have been carbon dosing for 11 weeks now and I was...

120 gallon so I guess my one little guy is def. not enough. I have plenty of other CUC members but I think another pincushion is a good idea

I hear ya. I’m not big on chemicals either. I’ve heard fluconazole not really that bad for a tank and I can say the 2 doses I did had no I’ll effect but didn’t fix my algae problem. I think I’m gonna pick up another urchin and a few more turbos. I want to try another sea hare since I know what...

I have one pincushion right now he’s pretty small about the size of a quarter. maybe I’ll grab another larger one. He did eat all the coralline algae on the rocks. Funny thing today I was vacuuming up the hair algae and my urchin was covered in it. Had to suck it off of him. Brick Petcos urchins...

As far as peroxide dosing is it a daily treatment with a doser or manual treatment?

The Petco near me has them already acclimated but I don’t think 1 will do anything in a 120 gallon tank and I don’t want to add a bunch of those. I guess I can always try 1, but I won’t hold my breath since my lawnmower Blenny, yellow tang, Foxface, or 2 barred rabbit fish don’t touch it.

Yeah I saw that first hand. I sprayed one of the rocks with peroxide and the coralline was super bright red for a day or two then gone. I really don’t want to use peroxide but I’m at a loss since nothing seems to be working I know I need to be patient but I didn’t thing GHA would be so hard to...

What about scarlet reef hermit crabs. I added a couple of those as well.

Tank is in basement and not near any windows. 2 treatments of Fluconazole and nothing. It may have killed a little but nothing like the results I’ve seen other have. Maybe I should up the dose of fluconazole?

I’m really starting to get annoyed with my GHA problem since it encroaches on my frags and I am constantly cleaning off with a brush. It’s in the sandbed as well as all over the rocks. I have been sucking out every week and recently using a vacuum which takes out a lot. But once I’m done it...

Finally some time away from work. Culture was just started should be about 7 days. I will advise

Wow you do 18 hours. I think I have mine only set to 11-12 hours. What strain are you culturing ?

You covered just about everything. One thing I also do is separate my culture when it’s done and fill 2 16 ounce bottles just in case the culture dies or crashes so I have a reserve. The main thing you want to do when done is shake a little daily so nothing settles or it will die. If you do...

I can get you started with A fresh culture. For some reason Mercer of Montana no longer on Amazon. I can get you a 16 ounce bottle that’s all you need to get you going. If you have a frag of something that would be fine.

How much do you need I am about to start another culture of Nanochloropsis phyto. I can split my main culture and make a couple batches. I usually make 3 liters in each batch. Takes about 7 days. 08722

The Depot has them. It’s a micro attachment kit.

I love this thing. Let me just say if you have GHA this attachment sucks it right off of the rocks. The micro attachments are awesome. They have a couple brushes that attach and are great for scrubbing GHA off of the rock work. I can now reach all the way behind my rock work and suck up the GHA...

Here they are. About the size of a quarter but they are eating algae
