Anyone else having website issues with joker?

I can’t view my cart properly. I can’t delete items from my cart. I’ve tried landscape mode. Desktop version. Can’t do anything to edit my cart. I have items left in it from yesterday I don’t want and I can’t clear them out.

I texted Jay and Jason and they added more
Aww, thank you so much! He emailed and said he would add them yesterday so I checked and checked, nothing. I had been checking about once an hour when you said something, was starting to think he wasn't going to add any.

125g and dosing around 10ml a day. The deeper algae doesn’t seem to be taking the hit but the upper algae in the column do seem to be falling off
I dose hydrogen peroxide currently at 60ml a day for a 180. Your current dose of attacking algae is low. Unless your spot dosing. I have maiden hair algae that once in a while it starts to grow to many. I usually take 1ml of 3% directly to the center and I pull it out a few days later.

The red looking algae in your pic have you brushed or blew to see if it comes off. I’m assuming you chemi cleaned based on your chemical statement. When you open up real estate new things take over.

I’ve followed most of your post and remember early chiming in on your tank. I believe you were using aminos. I suggest you just let your tank settle. The numbers will not be ideal but a balance will be in place. Unless your adding trace your algae will use up most of the iron limiting its growth. This will allow your cuc especially your urchins get a handle on it.

Higher mag is more effective at limiting algae growth then open dosing peroxide. However if you feel like you are making a difference then continue.

Hey man! Thanks for hitting me up. I did listen to your advice and completely stopped aminos as suggested. I’ve done the reef roids only to boost nitrates and phos as I bottomed out hard. I’ll try scrubbing some now as I haven’t honestly. I’ll try and increase peroxide too. No Trace have been added. I lowered my weekly water changes to bi weekly and letting my socks get extra dirty.

I dose peroxide for the oxygen boost in the water. When I go home I try and treat remove the maiden hair that I don’t like growing where I don’t want. Those I spot treat.

Pellets are amazing for raising nutrients. Reef roids is excellent at raising po4. I like the natural saturation of po4 through feeding. I do know there are several products with potassium that address your low nutrient. I just think it’s too soon to play mad chemist in a young tank. You can’t get nitrates without phosphate, they hold hands in the amount that shows up. Not always perfectly ratios though.

Okay. So to follow up. It’s an interesting algae. It was…. Kind of easy to remove and kind of not? I certainly have some gha. The reddish one we’re speaking of I used a wire brush as well as a general tooth brush. Effects were same. Kinda came off easy. Kinda didn’t.

Also. Need an opinion. To help my torches get a little less flow I threw this here. How we feeling about my rockwork. I like it but keep feeling like I’m always making small tweaks.

Oh. I just went to pure whites. Man I didn’t realize how ugly it was right now.

So from my experience Dino’s come after chemi clean. In older systems not but newer systems yes. The low nutrient is why I’m leaning that way. Peroxide actually helps so may be why we don’t see a lot atm. Dinos usually take hold on algae populating until they spread. It’s early so just watch for bigger bubbles in them or get a microscope.

I’m really hoping it’s just cyano that’s trying find a place. Most red algae is a flatter turf algae , seen on ocean live rock from my experience.

Add a pvc or new plastic into higher light and see what populates it. If you see reddish with bigger bubbles then you know.

Your rock is still white. It’s absorbing po4 and leaching finding its balance.

The algae looks horrible but it’s really not. Let it grow let it take up the fuel that you can’t see. Grab more urchins tux or pin cushion, I prefer tux. You can get an abilogne too they will be in season now I believe.

You’re just in the ugly stage that rock needs more time to cook .
