Tank History
Tank has been up and running for a year or year and a half. Tank levels are all good, when i bring water sample into pet shop. I bring water samples with me before i buy any coral or fish to make sure the water is fine for them. Had problems with red slime in the past,i have treated it. Have a problem with hair algae on some spots. Getting a coral banded shrimp to help with britle worm population.
If any ideas or comments please let me know.
