Glenn's Red Sea Max 130D

I just noticed it does shows how my clownfish swim & stay side by side all the time in the vid, they are always like this, a happy couple

Your calice is doing very well, nice to see it taking hold.

 

Thanks Sam, I was very happy to see it engulf the plug & attach to the rock!

 

NICE!!!!

 

Can we get a full tank shot? You haven't posted one in a while. I'd like to see the whole tank so I can see it's progress

 

Very nice looking tank!!

 

********* I see a SAW in your future very soon *********

Frag it up- pass it around- save a reef

 

Yep your gonna need the saw and a frag tank pretty soon. Tank is loooking very nice.

 

Thanks everyone... yep one problem of a 34 gal tank, it fills up fast. I am already dreaming of a RSM 250D

 

just quick snap shot from tonight...

 

My clownfish are "hosting" my candy cane coral, at night they sleep on top of it & throughout the day gentle rub it.

A cool site that I saw last night when I peeked with my flashlight was my little yellow clown goby sleeping in the middle of the two clownfish on top of the Candy Cane Coral (Caulastrea furcata) all three together like real mates ! All my fish get along like best of buddies.

I tried to go get my camera, but the flashlight made the goby move, so this morning, I snook up & just fired a shot, the goby was with them there, but not in the middle of them like yesterday, goby on side, on right.

 

Thats a really nice pic for a stalk and shoot. You have some really nicely behaved fish. My clowns would never allow that goby near there home!

 

Full Tank Shot from this morning... and my new little Bar Goby

 

I'll be Watching You my latest video, hope you enjoy

Looking good Glenn!! Is that cyano on your rocks?

 

Thanks Ralph

no, most are just covered with coralline algae...

 

Do me a favor take a turkey baster and blast the two sides of your scroll coral. There are tiny bubbles affixed to the rocks that indicate cyano. See if it blows off of the rocks. If it does it is not coraline as you know.

Look at the first and 2nd pic at the red shaded areas. Your bubbles are not as big, but are present. Yours looks a bit smoother also.

I am betting its cyano, by looking at your recent pic. No big problem, watch what and how much you feed, increase flow, and some chemi-clean. You can see areas of rock that are a little more shaded that do indeed have coraline on it 3:00 position from your ricordia. Notice the difference in color also. Cyano is a dark purple and the coraline is more of a violet. Though there is coraline that turns that color, usually on Marshall island rock I believe. Usually don't get both colors on the same rock.

Generally coraline algae does not form bubbles like that on their surface, and its presence in the areas that light hit the most is another clue. Maybe someone else will chime in, but would almost bet the farm it is cyano.

Give it the turkey baster test. A couple good blast should blow it off of the rocks. You will be suprised how much better the rock will look without the cyano covering it.
