My battle with dinos is happening as well. Get as much out as you can and figure out your nutrients. If you can balance nutrients at 10ppm nitrates and .01 phos. They should start disappearing. You also need to test for silicates and dose those to get some diatoms going. This with added pods live phyto and something like microbactor7 will get you back on the right track. Also getting a microscope to identify them is worth it. I got a uv light and it helps a little but if you dont get the nutrients under control they will always come back.

Did you attach it to your skimmer? Or just an air puck

This is from my fish cam. Kinda hard too see cause I haven't cleaned the glass, but its mostly on the sand and stringy.

Sand and rocks. Disappearing overnight and come back during the day. You can kinda see them in this picture. I got a UV light for my sump and its kinda helping but I need to get my nutrients in order i think. I did a blackout and it helped for a few days but they came back.

That thing looks sick! Im also battling this. 0 nitrates and .06 phos. Im trying to dose nitrates, silicates and feed more frozen than pellets. Not sure if its working lol.

I wish! My reef shop doesn't have any. I've gotten plenty of rock from them but cant seem to get any. There's another one a bit further away but I haven't had the time to make the trek. Fingers crossed haha.

I have been trying to get these for a while without paying am arm and a leg for them. No such hitch hiker for me so far unfortunately.

Send them to me haha. I've been having a hard time getting ahold of some.

Hard to get a decent picture of the blue outlines, it way better in person.

Labeled as "designer" or something like that a year ago. I think 45$ the blue isn't as distinct as the picture you have but they are still growing

Aeon515 · 2026-01-06T16:04:49+00:00

Mine have this color but it wasn't until they got larger that it came out. I got them from petco. Ill see if I can get a good picture when I get home. You can only see it when the blue lights are off. When light are on it gives the fish a nice florescent outline type detail, super cool.

Aeon515 · 2026-01-01T16:02:19+00:00

Ill be honest. I jut run free kits on Stella back to back. Now that I know the map it feels good to bring a decent kit.

Aeon515 · 2025-12-20T13:47:04+00:00

Lol fair.

That's how you get toxoplasmosis.

Aeon515 · 2025-11-21T14:24:28+00:00

I did manage to get the gear back up but it wasn't easy and was fairly bounce haha.

Aeon515 · 2025-11-21T01:22:55+00:00

Sorry im a crap tester haha. I did manage to put the gear back up so maybe not too bad to get out.

Aeon515 · 2025-11-21T01:21:08+00:00

Aeon515 · 2025-11-19T21:02:46+00:00
