Restarting my tank

[brandon429]

That looks like chrysophytes

not caused by bad water params, an unlucky hitchhiker

type of organism doesnt matter much in final actions due, but that’s a rare one above. Not common in invasion threads.

Im completely sure if that was my reef, with that good coral potential under the invasion, it would be disassembly surgery and no other way. At least this isn’t dinos


I prefer that above to dinos, and you keeping the matured rock is the #1 help to prevent terrible dinos

your rocks and corals are nice, this is the exact challenge we want to beat with your current rocks in place. Appreciate that you were willing to consider the big job. I like remote tank work challenges

I'm almost sure that it is chrysophytes. But unfortunately little to no information.
I really appreciate that you are willing to help me get my tank "back"

On the other end of the competence scale, I found a crab in my quarantine tank. God only knows how that got in.

that is the wonderful thing about quarantine tanks, they catch things we don't see. Must have been a very small baby hitch hiker

Why is it that asking for pattern threads I can read to show a claim in action is like pulling teeth, folks get all bent out of shape. At least I take time to test and log my crazy claims.

If no such thread exists for outbound cures for verms we can read here as a link just say that Spare time.

Mischa it's your tank start over if you like. Notes from the field are handy though, this wasn't made up advice.

Who exactly is this "we" you keep referencing?? Lol!

Given that they are a type of cyanobacteria, elevated phosphate and 0 nitrate would be a pretty ideal environment for them. Not saying that the tank had 0 nitrate, but that its a potential cause in many cases.

Erin, just this once I thought I’d show the ‘we’

I get that joke and usually just ignore it


not because the request was sincere, but to show you what honest input looks like, consider D Burr‘s responses in this thread

How to unstick any seemingly stuck cycle

I used Dr. Tim’s Bacteria and Ammonia. Yes Day 9, I was already anxious because my nitrites were high. But then I bumped on this post. Here’s my tank today. Let’s see how this go. I’ll keep you updated.

DBurr helps out in cycling posts using what I consider updated information

I dont have to catch every post, if he chimes in it’s on point with our method there


I don’t have to worry about arguing with him for pages, we agree on modus operandi for fixing cycles/ the 39 pages of cycles fixed is the result of folks willing to positive assist, teamwork at times.

See how I can trust that his information wont mislead our posters or try and sell them on cycling fears that result in flinchy moves? That’s we. LRT helps too, I’ve seen.
