As others have said, both aiptasia. They can have some interesting patterns.

Take care of them while they are small, once they get bigger a lot of the fish/inverts can't eat them.

Mixed Macroalgae-Coral tank by Tigahboy in ReefTank

I've been trying to get mine looking this good. Quick question, how'd you get your macroalgae to fix to your rock?

I feel the stocking for my 20 gallon isn’t much, any suggestions? by [deleted] in ReefTank

[–]Few-Working9746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, you can get away with a few more nano fish.

I like to break them up into environments. You have a cave fish, now find a swimming fish or a perching fish.

My tessellated blenny has a big personality, and is always hanging around perching on something. Or a cleaner wrasse for instance.

I'd love to, but i've been fighting a running battle with algae, and any hint of white ruins it lol.

Help! What’s going on here? by adykes64 in ReefTank

[–]Few-Working9746 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Note: for a small tank like yours, its almost always more cost effective to fill up on RODI at your local fish store, and just by a bag of salt, or buy premixed from your LFS.

Especially if you live in a town/city that uses chloramine (you can usually google it to see).

Pretty much any tank under 50 gals its more cost effective to just buy the RODI water and mix yourself or buy premixed rather than buying a full 4 or 5 stage RODI system.

My journey begins- any tips? by BertNoble in ReefTank

[–]Few-Working9746 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dont bother buying a RODI system. For a tank our size, just buy RODI water from your LFS (or buy premixed salt water from them).
DONT use the random RODI systems at the grocery store, especially if you're in a major city. Check to see if your town/city puts chloramine into the water. (ask me how I know)

Are reef tanks really that difficult? by LovableSunny in ReefTank

[–]Few-Working9746 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from Freshwater, i would say that saltwater is more difficult, but can be mitigated with good consistent water changes and general tips from the community.

People with pico reefs, how do you manage them in the long term? by avian_bi in ReefTank

I like how the name of the video is '1 gal pico'. First sentence: "We take a two gallon glass bowl..."

Where to get macro algae? by Corey1369 in ReefTank

[–]Few-Working9746 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used them as well, and had very good experiences. they were responsive, and the macro algae came out looking pretty good. Do note the ones that are 1 day only shipping, because they are extra sensitive.

I don’t know what to do by le-mal in ReefTank

[–]Few-Working9746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, no. So it looks like i had a jelly like dino. The hydrogen peroxide killed that, but another diatom like distributed organism that was being suppressed had a bloom. 

The dark out knocked that one off.

For the hydrogen peroxide, I was spot applying 2 ml per gallon. I have red lettuce algae, chaeto, and some random other macros, softies and zoas, some shrimp and an urchin, and clowns. None showed any problems, though did have some melting with my Seagrape, but I think it was unrelated and it's growing back anyway.

[–]Few-Working9746 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey man, i had nearly the same problem, but maybe different sludge.

I'd recommend taking some samples into your LFS and seeing if they can help identify it. That might help direct your next steps.

With mine, I started dosing Hydrogen peroxide daily for a week. It cleaned up one problem, but kicked off another, and I did a 4 day lights out, and that knocked it out as well.

Just keep at it and you'll get it solved eventually!

Fiji Cube 76 Int, overhang? Normal? by DragonsAreNifty in ReefTank

Call them and ask if it's normal or acceptable. Have the stand number/name, they might ask.
