New clam/aquascape

stlrams88 · 02/16/2009, 02:10 PM

Last week i pulled everything out of my reef and gave it a good cleaning ( i had terrible hair algae), so after the cleaning and aquascape this is what I have today.

New clam

New Blueish purple digi (looks blue under light, camera does no justice).

FTS

My attempt at a top down shot (bad).

Looks good!! Hopefully you've found and corrected the source of the algae. Otherwise, it'll just come back.

that derasa is going to get huge!

the derasa is going into a bigger tank before it gets huge dont worry about that one. The algae came from some rocks that had frags on them i believe, rocks were removed and tossed in the backyard. I took out like 10+ pounds of rock, and i think i could still take out some more .

I am having trouble getting my salinity up. its at 1.023 right now but i would like it around 1.025 or 1.026. I tried a water change and replaced the water taken out with 1.030sg water and it only raised it from 1.022 to 1.023. Any suggestions?

Instead of doing top-offs with freshwater, do it with saltwater. This will replace the fw evaporation with sw.
