Alex, just curious about the nutrients in there. It’s better to have GHA than turf. You’re good! The GHA will be gone eventually, and it’s easier to deal with. It’s a new large system…completely normal.
@algawura2 5 күн бұрын
Just tested. NO3 2.5ppm & PO4 .03-.1ppm. Normally I keep NO3 5-10ppm so that is a bit low for my normal range. I agree this is a normal cycle for the GHA and over the last few weeks it continues to slowly go away. In a few more months it should be all cleared up.

Hello, to solve this problem, why don't you install an algal turf scrubber?
@algawura2 5 күн бұрын
The refugium will have similar function. There is an algae mat that is now growing on the surface of the refugium that I have been harvesting.

I wonder how live kelp would do in your fish only side.
@algawura2 5 күн бұрын
The species of Kelp I have seen have all been temperate or cold water species. Sargassum would somewhat of an equivalent as it can grow rapidly but it needs really strong lighting. I have kept Sargassum in the past but it can sometimes be difficult to obtain as its seasonal and not always collected for aquariums.

Only thing I can say I disagree with is I would put Astraea as number 2 for best snails. I don’t think Trochus are that great yeah they can flip themselves back over but eating algae there ok. I like that you talked about no cure for algae. You can pure something in the tank to fix’s algae. Yes it may kill the algae but the problem is still there and will come back. Tank coming along nicely
@algawura2 5 күн бұрын
That's fair on the snail. This makes me want to get more astreaea now :)

great vid, nice to see patience and proper maintenance working :D

Thanks. I think its important to embrace patience and maintenance over quick fixes.
@dennismoody4312 Ай бұрын
I honestly don’t know how you do it on your own with that system.
@algawura2 Ай бұрын
For me its just fun. With the algae in progress I am actually doing more maintenance than I normally will once the aquarium balances out.

High phosphates will grow algae
@algawura2 Ай бұрын
Phosphates can be a contributing factor to the root cause of algae. In my experience a more established system having algae issues can be potentially related to elevated phosphate levels. I would be observing to see if levels have changed significantly in relation to an algae issue starting.

@algawura2 I cycled my 750 gallon saltwater aquarium with my lights off for 3 months my aquarium has been up and running for 5 months and I still have no algae

Fought hair algae for months only to realize it was briopsis
@algawura2 Ай бұрын
Its not fun dealing with bryopsis but I have used similar methods with nutrient control, and urchins. I have found the fish are less interested in bryopsis but urchins still have gone after it before in past aquarium systems I have kept.
