hi guys,

just started this Zeovit tank from scratch, its about 6 weeks old. Starting to have brown diatom algae.

Looks nice and clean to me!!

great job! Im sure you know this.. but diatoms are caused by excess silicates. Check your salt and change your RO/DI cartridges/membrane.

How is your rock so green. It looks like its got cut green grass on it.

Got a close up picture?

Nice tank

wow looks totally different from when i was last there anthony... hopefully your algae problems should go away... mine finally did!

When I started from scratch also with zeo I had that green algea cover my older rocks aswell.. Took about 2 months to finally go away for me.. My rock was old though 6-7 yrs and some was dead LR from when my brother had his tank setup...

Peace, jeff

Love those fish!! definitely not the same ol' reef tank! What kind are they and are tehy reef safe?

[skinychinaman]

thanks guys,

yeah..i jsut started to get that green on the rock..i am cutting back the dosage right now..
as for the fish, the main fish is a Highfin Snapper, i have 5 different types of squirals. they are completely reefsafe, except i can't keep small fish and shrimps. but really..who cares..I am tire of the old clowns and shrimps..heheheh

I chose all these shelf rocks trying to minic natural reef cliffs. I just want to do a different tank from the rest i have seen through the years. Aquascaping/fish/etc etc.
I will soon to add my weird anglers and stone fish..

forgot to add..I am thinking about a complete GSP bottom, it should be looking like i have green carpets

[nyfireman3097]

yeah but the problem with that is that GSP grow like weeds it will grow all ov er the rocks
