the FC is growing quite nice and its starting to spread its wings in my tank.


need your advises/suggestions/expertise/whatever ;D



Godbless everyone.

good evening to all.

Mabuhay!

Updates of my 10g experiment. As of now, i am using 2 CFLs (6500k) and PL 33 watts (6500k) and its 14hrs on everyday, i'll be adding a new 15watt blue actinic soon. The tank will be 2 months old in a few days.

i have the ff equipments ...
2 Powerheads
1 HOB filter (foam as medium)

and i dose DIY-CO2, i turn it on in the morning before i go to work then off before i go to bed. Most of the time, i use distilled water for top-off but sometimes i use NSW and synthetic for top off. (my bad!!)

I just removed a lot of nuisance algae (i guess i have a very bad case of hair algae or bryopsis ?)

Then i found several algaes on the rocks:

at first i didnt pay attention to this stuff because i thought that my eyes were fooling me but tonight when i removed a lot of nuisance in the tank i am quite happy that they're actually growing. i hope that this kind of algae is what i am looking for.


this one i just got it from the beach and it was quite small then but anyhow i just put it in my aquarium and it seems to be growing.


is this mermaid's wine glass?


i guess i have xenia growing on the rock i just hope its the real deal.


---i'll take a picture of my aiptasia, its quite hard to take a picture of it in the evening becauses it closes up.

----i would like to apologize for the quality of the pics the digicam was not available so i just used my cellphone camera.


Open for any suggestions/advises/comments.


If i hit the 2 month mark, can i do WC ?

Happy reef/marine/saltwater keeping everyone.

Godbless

i hope everyone is in A-1 condition.

@3D-Reef
WHOA!! thanks for the response, i am sure you're one of the gurus


updates...updates...updates...my tank has reached the 2 month mark and i just did a 50% WC using saltmix. I've noticed as i take out the old water from the tank, it has a yellowish color but when i added a fresh new batch the water is clear again. I removed a lot as in a lot of algae in the tank. My new water maintenance would be a 50%WC weekly, and i am still an avid follower of saltmix and NSW.
