CADE 1500 Algae Issues and UV Update - January 24

[@moereefer]

I run all my tanks at 78-80. Also I would recommend decreasing all the lights your running for the next couple days or a week to help. And most importantly you have to clean the dinos off u will be surprised as fast it will disappear. Or 2-3 night blackout

Definitely need to siphon all that growth out for sure.

Nice looking tank bro. Have you gotten in there to manually remove that algae at all?

[@theloneaquarist]

A few times. Since it’s bryopsis it’s rooted into the rock.

Hey buddy, watching from australia. I have the cade 2100S2. absolutely love it. May I ask what those fans are and if you rate them? Cheers buddy. Love the content don't stop the Vids.

Thank you. This new tank build has been a roller coaster for sure. I love the Cade though. It’s just the nature of this particular build that’s been rough. In any case, the fans are these “Vornado” brand Pivot3 fans. I like them a lot since they push a lot of air over the surface. And being in Southern California they’ve definitely helped keep the tank cool. I did buy a smaller version of this first but it completely rusted - one of my issues with the CADE sump area is that it’s tightly sealed so there’s a build up of moisture and humidity - I was surprised but the fan just rusted. I decided to mount larger versions of the fan to the outside on my Lighting pillar and this seems to work fine. I just wipe them down every couple of weeks to clean off the salt mist. The amazon link (U.S. store) is this one: Vornado Pivot3C Compact Air Circulator Clip On Fan with Multi-Surface Mount, Black a.co/d/euMwloZ
