Almost that time of year!!!! (1 Viewer)

I have chaeto and some dragons breathe in the fuge, but the chaeto is struggling. The dragons breathe might of died as well, haven’t checked in a while. It was doing great before the algae took over. Got a new clump from another member and it’s also struggling. The bulb is a newish fluorescent bulk that is 5k. I wish I could work out going collecting but Ive been going out of town a lot for work, and my wife would be pissed if I took off to spend more time away from home. I could probably work out driving to someone and picking some stuff up if y’all are able to find anything for me.

Do the molly millers eat hair algae? Would they be ok in the same tank with a lawnmower or would that cause issues?

Molly Millers are very similar to Lawnmower's. I find that lawnmowers graze a little more though. I Had a few together a while back and at first they didn't like each other but then got along.

Try the led flood lights at home depot. Same specrum. Let me see what I can do about some stuff for you.

You can't bribe her with a beach day? The water has been awesome here lately.

I have a 60 gal cube. Have been struggling with hair algae, I know it’s attributed to my feeding pellets, trying to switch away from them. Been running a reactor with carbon/gfo for several months. I had a healthy pod population until I added 2 leopard wrasses to the tank, they have hunted them down to minimal numbers in the display. I’m sure my Refugium in the sump is growing them fine. Plenty of micro stars in the tank.

Get the Fluconazole pill. I'm pretty sure it works on GHA. 4-6 weeks your problems will be solved. Miracle pill!

The GHA is robbing all the available nutrients.

 

[Reefahholic]

Ok, let me know.

Let me see what I can do... I will text you tomorrow.

Chris

I can try maybe in October. Sept is teal season and my drive to hunt is too great to overcome. I tried to go collecting with you when we did family vacation in Galveston but that didn’t work out on my end either.

6 of us going tomorrow night (Friday) at 8:00 pm. If you wanna go, pm me or post up here.

Weather looking gnarly guys. Chris texted and said the water clarity wasn’t very good earlier, but that can change fairly quick depending on the wind and tides. We’ll have to play it buy ear.

I am going to try tomorrow night if you want to try again?

Depends on the clarity! I’ll go if it’s clear. I’ve been when the water is brown and it sucks. When it’s clear it’s so much more fun.

Chris how’s it looking down there? Looks brown on the cam.

Nice and brown so the critter don't see us coming.... As long as the weather holds up I am going!!

 

[alex6528]

Thanks for the tip on the fluconazole. Had my cousin who’s a vet order in a bottle of 100ct 100 mg tabs. Dosed last night and optimistically hoping for a clean tank in a few weeks. Would love to get some cool macros from someone if this works. Don’t want to risk injuring the macros during the treatment.

Yes Sir! Best of luck. Should be an easy fix.
