How large is your Confusa?

How large is your Confusa?

Kinda hard to say cause of it's crazy shape, but I would say 6-7" long by 2-3" wide, I will get a top down shot tonight for better reference

 

[Nick James]

It looks great! Hoping mine takes off any day now

More tonight of just top water shots, some new additions added . Also a fellow member must have some Bryopsis(no names) as I've developed a patch on one of my sps rocks, I am in the process of correcting this issue with the simplest of ways, no ripping or scrubbing, nor raising my mag levels to extreme highs since Bryopsis doesnt need high levels of phosphate or nitrates to grow, as it is a light processing algae, I am using food grade black plastic on the rock pinned down so no light can penetrate the rock, during this process I've been dosing hyrogen peroxide to eliminate any of the spores that come out of the dying algae, so far so good the algae is almost gone, with no new algeas anywhere else, the base of the sps is dead but the rest of that coral is doing great, still no ill effect to any coral using the HP, as I've used it in the past again with no coral losses, I will continue this process until I know it's gone, probably another week or so, if it works I will start a thread with pics of how I did it, ps this is why no FTS..

Looking very nice. Those Confusa are nice but they grow like weeds in my tank. lol

 

[Shooter000]

For some reason I've never been able to keep confusa or spongodes(nano),all other SPS grew/grow good but them always parish!, so I thought I'd try the 44G, and wouldn't you know it, growing like a weed, other than the chalices taking a couple Swipes at it,lol

Thx bud, greatly appreciated

Only thing I'm using is: daily dose
TLF AcroPower-20 drops (2ml)
Kent's coralvite-15 drops (1.5ml)

Helps with -trace elements, vitamins, amino acids, Also helps keep other parameters higher between water changes
Kent's

AcroPower

i am using fuel atm ..... 2 caps per week ....

 

[Shooter000]

I try for the daily dosing, just so my skimmer doesn't suck it all out at once, I guess I use 1/7 doses of reef roids everynight as well,

 

[BigReefer]

ah u feed every day?
i do oaster feast once a week ...

 

[Shooter000]

Yep just reef roids, 1/7 the recommended weekly dosage, this way my corals get a daily intake of nutrients with over fouling the tank,

 

[BigReefer]

so instead of a cap do 1/3 of a cap everday kinda thing?

 

[Shooter000]

Just don't over do it, I'd see what they say for the amount, then just divide that into 7 days, does the fuel cap have a (ml) on it?
