  my dad had an African yellow belly blue tang in a 180-gallon aquarium that lived for almost 20 years (it jumped likely due to being stung by an anemone). In the right conditions, most fish can live beyond their estimated life span. Great video!

  Hey, I'm just wondering if you've considered adding a roller mat to replace the filter socks. Can't say I've ever been a fan of replacing them, and the rollers work so well. Makes the Red Sea tanks a little more appealing, but I'm a big fan of the Allunimunum framing in the Cade tanks (the current tank is badly water damaged).

• 
  @MelbourneReeferАй бұрын

  Hi mate, I have considered it in the past but ultimately decided to pass on them. I found my current regime of using filter wool inside of filter cup holders produced clear enough water that I was satisfied with. I find with filter rollers there is so many mechanical parts and sensors that trouble-shooting would be a pain if something were to go wrong.

  Green Cyanobacteria is what is growing on your sand bed. It’s a bacteria not an algae. I think it’s sometimes part of the ugly phase and as the tank matures should go away on its own, just keep manually removing as much as you can. If it doesn’t eventually go away or just gets worse there are chemicals you can dose to kill it off. However if the root of the problem isn’t fixed there is a chance it will come back.

  In my experience there is no harm in having more rock unless it blocks flow which causes detritus build up. I don’t have much rock, but I do have almost 1kg of bio media in one of the chambers! If you’re wanting to take rocks out just make sure you’re adding more bio media to compensate
