Good luck with getting rid of the Bryopsis. It’s a different ball game to hair algae. I am always nervous about these treatments. Luckily I have not seen Bryopsis for years now.

Its a fairly high bio load, but not too much in my opinion especially as have a large very efficient skimmer and a 25% water changes and can get nutrients of no3 and po4 down to 0 fairly easily, wanted to push the boundaries with this system and experiment with higher nutrients and different methods of dosing ect. Time will tell and every system is one big game of balance and experiments

When I had a bad issue with turf algae I purchased a sea hare and thay little guy did some heavy knock down of the algae. It would eat non stop day and night like a lawnmower, I say a couple of those will significantly help clear up your patches.

You should be ok with that Nathan, I had hair algae problem and did Flux RX treatment. The treatment finished on 6th Feb, but I still had some hair algae. I thought I might have to do a second treatment, but I held out. Surprisingly, the algae continued to die after the treatment finished, and today there is hardly any algae left. I did start using the skimmer again after 3 days like it says on the bottle. If yours is like mine, the instructions on the box and the bottle are different to each other. I also started using Phosguard after 3 days aswell, to soak up the phosphates from the dying algae.

I had a regal in a 450 liter tank and they produce so much waste. Will be a constant battle to keep it under control in a smaller tank. When I moved both a regal and vampire tang on I cut nopox dosing by 50%. Lovely fish but I would not have one again as too much like hard work keeping on top of nutrients. Good luck with the treatment 👍

You should do a fuge or turf scrubber and add more aggressive CUC, All of these chemical treatments are just bandaids. You should know this with how long you have been a reefer.

Richard Portelli- This is why I am a big fan of refugiums with macro algae, a natural way of keeping unwanted algae out of the display tank. Sadly fuges seem to have gone out of fashion, most people just bung chemicals in to do the same thing.

Hello Nathan, you're running Kessil's, your son the RS Reefleds. What do you think is the main difference visual wise? Looking on all the KZitem video's i feel the Reefleds have a more purple-ish blue (Royal blue) than the Kessil's, am i right? I definitely like the Kessil blue more, looks more natural imho.

Hi Nathan. That stuff is basically expensive fluconazole. I’ve used Fluconazole about three times now. My friend even double dosed with no I’ll effects to corals so I’m supprised your getting coral sulks with it. It will wipe out anything green and don’t except to be able to grow cheato etc for quite some time. It’s about the only thing I know that wipes out byropsis long term. What’s your p04 ph and kh reading please put if interest.

@@nathanqwerty1 if your ph is only 8.0 with a kh of 10 then you have built up co2 in the water. I believe this is the cause to most people’s algee probs. Since I went fresh air intake or co2 scrubber on my tank I didn’t need to clean glass. Stubborn gha algee went and my ph is now 8.3 at a kh of 7. Worth a consider.

Hi Nathan, can you recommend me a good setting on radions g4 for sps dominated tank for speedy growth? Tank is reefer 425XL. I have noticed you run a very bright whitish spectrum on your lights and your growth has been spectacular in all of your tanks. I have been following you since your very first videos.
@nathanqwerty1
3 жыл бұрын
Hi bud, cant really advise on the radions as have never used them but my mate at his shop has them and runs the AB+ schedule with great success so i would recommend using that, as for running high whites it really doesn't make any difference as the coral needs the blue end of the spectrum not the white, the white percentage is just what is good for your own viewing preference

Nutrients high to much feeding and overstocked there a few big fish in there what litre is the tank 300 litres bryopsis is a right nuisance to get rid of u should have worked on nutrients first before adding chemicals same as usual with reef tanks people use chemicals and the problems always come back chemicals are not the answer your corals will suffer from that treatment u will loose some corals unfortunately
