What's the problem with the current one specifically? Can you drain the zone that is leaking and mend it?

I replied to your email a few minutes ago.

What does a typical custom cost ?

get a cheap tank and add your own baffles, then you can find one that fits for sure. it will also cost you less.

That's it spell was never one of my strong points

DJ in WV, propagules is what you were trying for, I think.

i found with my mangroves that sometimes they are just not happy when you move them so there will be some loss. add more until you get a bunch of happy ones

Mine are growing great and I've never sprayed them.

did you receive shoots or popual's(<I know its spelled wrong)

10 - 12 hours is the range to shoot for, every tank is different responds different to lighting times believe it or not the 2 hour range there can make a big difference between happy corals and algae, lol

Thanks guys you have been a huge help. So about 10 hours would be the time frame for the lights?

Bio pellets would be the new addition.1 month in, and just added the other 1/3 of the pellets today after soaking for 24 hours.

yeah I agree with phil your lights are on for a pretty short amount of time, but if you do crank your light time up do it gradually not all at once, 15-30 minute intervals over weeks. Also one thing about diatoms I have read is that they will feed off of silicates in the water so if you added any new plastic equipment it will feed off the small amount of silicates the equipment leeches until it starves itself out. I am actually having a little diatom bloom right now from the hoses, pvc, and plastic u tubes installed from my closed loop system, but expect it to be gone soon enough.

Yeah, anytime you change just about anything you'll get diatoms for a while. And actually, your photo period seems pretty short, most people run there lights 10 to 12 hours/day. Unless your moonlights are actually full power actinics that is.

Phil

diatom bloom's can be a common thing when changing out bulbs that have gone out of spectrum or changing to a higher output lamp, continue with regular water changes and keep everything within parameters and it will go away in a couple weeks

time and flow. clean your glass , lightly vacuum your sand when doing a water change. and then just wait.lol

Bingo diatoms! I google pictured it. That is exactly the name and description. Now the cure would be???

a pic would help. mabye diatoms?
