Re: My 90G Pile of Rocks
No doubt that I will have to start moving out some coral. I have been slowly making space for these new pieces over the last several months.
I am planning a new scape, but I want wait until some of these new frags start taking off. I know less rock work will significantly improve the flow and the overall health of my system.
I've decided that I like my 90 so there will be no imminent future tank upgrades.
In terms of the blue clove, it really doesn't seem to irritate any of the sps.
What I have observed is that it does slow down some encrusting at the base. When I do the re-scape, I will either sell off the blue clove or I have been reading that one treatment with FLUKE TABS can irradicate the entire population. The treatment will also wipe out any xenia, anthelia, leathers, etc. Most of which have already been removed from my system. Big decision though, as there are risks if its not done right.
On another note, I have 100% wiped out any bryopsis from my system. A number of months ago I added a full sized container of KENT Tech-M over a couple weeks. My Magnesium levels held to over 1800 ppm for 4-6 weeks. The bryopsis started dying off within a week. By the third week I pulled it all out and none ever grew back. During this time my corals never looked better, so I can verify that the treatment is safe like other stories I have read on other forums.
