    That's funny as I noticed today that much of the back wall algae is flaking off floating around the tank. Sand bed still a bit dirty but not like before. All I did was add a bag of carbon 2 or 3 days ago.

    Thanks Edwin, I did a 3 day blackout with a dark sheet but no carbon. May consider longer and carbon if no improvement. Did you feed fish / coral during the blackout?

    Fish loss

    I did use Chemiclean and it helped but still have them. I used Vibrant and not much help, same with peroxide dosing. Keeps it at bay but never kills it and if I stop dosing it gets worse. I dropped a water sample off at ACC and waiting a reply back.

    Fish loss

    Nikki, I tried several blackouts and no luck. Also, read it was from low nutrients stated to not perform water changes as it feeds the dinos. I just started running carbon again as I read it can help. Will see what happens.

    Fish loss

    Well that stinks. I lost mime too and believe it was because of the dino problem I have. I read dinos are toxic and any cleanup crew that eats it can die.

    The sand bed is very low, jsut enough to cover the glass, as I never did believe in deep ones even when I did FW. I recently picked up 2 sand sifting stars to cleanup the sand as it was horrible and they helped a little. I have been having this issue for months so I can't blame the starfish.

    Parameters are all in check. Only Nitrate a bit high .25 I believe the cause is low nutrients which for me is a joke. All my other thanks I had high phosphate but reading zero now. I was dosing peroxide weekly but doesn't seem to be effective so stopped.

    Just went to feed the fish and low and behold I have red slime on some sand and rocks. My yellow Watchman Goby is dead, upside down behind a rock in back. Can see it but cannot get to it to take out. I just added Chemiclean and started a 3 day blackout. I have no idea why I having this algae...

    Reptiles to fish tanks

    If the tank was built for reptiles its not good as the glass is very thin. If it was an actual fish tank used for reptiles check the silicone is missing sections and clean with bleach or vinegar, rinse and dry.
