The light is fine, what you need is to add a small bit of live rock to seed the rest and if you have dinos a powerful uv should sort that.

Your view on old live rock is incorrect. While it had biodiversity, much of it was dead (due to transportation etc). You had to cycle it yourself to deal with the decomposition of the dead organisms. You still got dinos and cyano btw - it's all part of the process. It certainly wasn't an instant cycled tank ready for lps/sps!

It was an instant cycle if you got cured live rock. Your taking about rock straight off the boat.

Can you advise please? I have had sand dwelling dinoflagalettes that I have receded completely, providing the lights are off. These are non dimmable T8 styled LED replacements, very basic. Would you suggest switching them on for a short period, and increasing the photo period over a few weeks? I definitely think light triggers them to bloom. I have dosed bacterial sludge cleaners and ran a low powered UV, both I think helped, but the lights are definitely still a trigger.Would you agree and what are your thoughts/ sugestions for a novice reefer? Thanks :)

I think you are correct. I had reef tanks back in the day when everyone sold real live rock and coral pieces, not frags on plugs. Never had the ugly stage. Fast forward to last couple of years I’m back in the hobby again and I’ve set up 5 tanks; I tried fake rock twice and both times was a disaster; I actually tore one tank down and started over. The other three tanks I started with Ocean Direct sand a real live rock and no ugly stage.

Tank looked amazing! What strategy did you use to turn it around after the flatworm issue? Pull and dip everything repeatedly? Or just baste and live with them?
@TwoScottishReefers Жыл бұрын
The flatworms seemed to only attack certain Acropora and leave others alone. In the end I started dosing some aewf x that was supposed to help and I just pulled and dipped the ones that were worst effected. Ultimately I only managed to save frags of the ones they had a taste for and I shut the tank down while dipping all frags regularly for weeks that got moved to the new tank. That wiped out the worms.

I hope you’re right . Interestingly years ago I ran a tmc uv system. On my power filter since some of the old books said that uv light levels on the reef helped sterilise the water and reduce plankton blooms. . Obviously at see blooms surface at night from the depths. And that can’t happen in a closed system , thanks for your advice. It makes sense.
