Mike89t's 45gal Cube Build

[mike89t]

And my new Candy Apple Red decided to open up and join the party

Almost 4 months since starting up my DT and I’m starting to hit the ugly phase.

Starting to get some green algae on my rocks

Oops! Accidentally knocked my Alien Invader Zoas off their mount. Decided to wedge them into a crevice and see if they survive. Stupid me!

You need some Glue? I have some just used it today to attach some that I keep knocking over

Thanks. But I’m going to see if it attaches where it is at by itself. It’s wedged in there pretty good.

Just received my order from @reefcleaners. So many fun new snails for my display tank.

trochus, dwarf trochus, ceriths, nerites and limpets:

 

[NeedAReef]

which package? did you do the ups overnight or standard shipping at this time of year?

 

[mike89t]

I did standard shipping and everything arrived alive after a couple days of transit

Beginning my battle with Cyano:

 

[mike89t]

Did a good cleaning and large water change and then gave the tank a dose of Chemiclean 4 days ago.

Received some Phosphate Supplement, OceanMagik (Live Phyto) and Pods in the mail today.

Going to continue to dose 10 ml of Live Phyto daily. Added Pods to the tank.

Trying to slowly bring up my Phosphate levels so that they are measurable by supplementing "ATI Nutrition P".

Dosing 9ml of Hydrogen Peroxide nightly.


Here is the tank after chemiclean application and a major cleaning:

How are the corals doing?

 

[mike89t]

How are the corals doing?

I lost my LPS but I think it was due to the issue with the Tropic Marin salt from Turkey. I finally got a batch of Tropic Marin from Germany yesterday and hope it will help my remaining Zoas bounce back.

How are the corals doing?

After doing weekly water changes with the Tropic Marin salt from Germany my Zoa's are starting to bounce back.

Purchased a clip on filter for my cell phone camera. Took some quick photos with the filter on and it worked great.


My Bam Bams are happy again:
