Kind of you, but yours will be amazing. I've been shocked how fast my coral has grown.Looks good Hope mine will look like this some day lol
Some say emerald crabs will eat it but that's a hit or miss. If you can take the rock out that would be easiest as you can then scrape it off...if you pop them they will release spores. So what I reccomend is doing a water change put the rock in that bucket start a siphon to another bucket when u have it in there and when u scrape it off so I get as much of the spores as possible away from the rockYes, it is definitely bubble algae. They are hard and therefore very difficult to remove. Any suggestions? They won't just knock off...
I'd read that about emerald crabs, but they creep me out. The spread has been so slow, I've not been frantic about it. I like the scrape suggestion- TY!Some say emerald crabs will eat it but that's a hit or miss.

2. Tried Doc's instead of phyto-feast, but am back after just a week. My coral don't react to Doc's, and that makes me very nervous.
Chad: yes, I started with phyto-feast, which the coral seem to like, as does the Peppermint shrimp. I've not had crazy algae problems and everyone has been growing. I went to buy a new bottle, but the place i was at didn't have it and suggested Doc's instead. The coral didn't even appear to be eating with the Doc's. Even shooting it directly into the lobophilia elicited no response. So now I'm back to phyto-feast.Had you been using our Phyto-Feast before trying Doc's? And now your back to using our phytoplankton concentrate? Your comment has sparked my interest. Nice tank.

Sm. Biz. LFS in IL (Chicagoland area) for the phyto-feast. I was at Reefwise for the Doc's. Both have a lot of coral, though Reefwise has TONS of coral that they frag themselves, so they can't be food fools.Good to hear you got to do a comparison. Thanks for the feedback. What store do you shop at?

I'm missing a snail. I wonder if that's it. Would putting an air stone in for awhile help? My KH is 9. TY for the advice!Don't put anything in your tank to chase pH other thank Alk supplement. If your Alk is in range then the low pH is due to either CO2 buildup or something which is dead / rotting in your tank.
