100 gallon seagrass tank update.
I had another thread going about this, but for some reason I can't post anything new on that thread.
Here is a link to the original thread... Original thread And here are the updates... Full tank. End shot. Some of the macros. This one is really interesting. It is growing on the back of a snail. And here is the one fish in the tank. I currently am having a time keeping the banana shaped bubble algae in control, but I am removing it by hand for now.

The fish that is in the tank is quite aggressive so he will most likely be coming out so I can get some firefish, gobies, etc. in the tank.

Your sargassum is super-sweet! The interesting algae is called Mermaid's wine glass, Acetabularia. That banana-shaped bubble algae may be Boergesenia. http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2002-0...ture/index.php

Any dosing? WC's? Do you test for anything? We need more info. :P

No dosing so far. I do a 10 water change once a month. With the limited bioload, water changes have not been necessary yet but I do them anyway. I have not done any testing other than pH, alk, calcium, nitrate, phosphate.

Your tank is sweet. Are you still using PC's for lighting?

Substrate looks like onyx sand - think seachem makes it maybe?
Love the sargassum, I have had it come in as a hitchiker, bloom mightily then fade away almost as fast never to return. |

4 X 96 watt 6500K PC's.
It is gray sand from Seachem. The sargassum has been growing at an astounding rate. Around 3" per day. I keep trimming it though, and it has little balls all over it. What are they?

Yep the little balls are air bladders, they keep the plant up, and I suspect may also help it to spread itself around when a piece breaks off. Its funny how the mermaids cup grows on the snails. I had the same situation. Once it died back I never saw it again.

Is that the neck of a glass bottle in the picture with the fish?
Does it serve a specific purpose?

Yes. That is the neck of a bottle in there. I just think it looks kinda cool. You know the ocean is full of stuff that shouldn't be in there...why not in a tank?
