hi guys, ive just signed up to reef sanctuary as it looks really usefull and ever one seems friendly.
i brought a 2nd had 130d about a month ago now. with fish and rock coral etc... bascailly everything you see in the pic.
after getttin it back home and setting it all back up everything seems fine, i tested the nitrate and it was low.
i was feeding the fish frozen food, i cube everyday. but then i notice the nitrate gettin high shot up to 40, so ive cut that down to feeding one cube everyother day and that seems to be helping. plus ive done 2 20%water changes. will do 3rd this weekend.
but now i seem to have loads off red algae on my sand bed, and a coral i had in the bottom rigth hand corner just stays scrivelled up now and is loosing colour. ive add a photo. if you look in the 1st pic its out you can see the diffrreance?????
what can i do to get rid off the red algae and get it to stay away, and how do i no if my coral is dead or alive or whats up with it.
hope someone can help, thanks
not sure if ive copied the link rigth in the photobucket so hope they show, and excuse the qualtiy they were taken on my iphone lol
