Well Im still fighting red slim on the sand on my Nano tank. All parameters are in line

Salt 1.024
Ammonia 0.00
Nitrate 0.00
Nitrite 0.00
Phosphate 0.00

Calk 340
Dkh 9

Any ideas

This has been going on for 6 weeks
I use a turkey baster to suck as much out as I can daily.

15 to 20% water change weekly.


All I can say is this little tank is 10 times more work than my 155 bow when it was a reef…


Am I better turning it to a bare bottom ?

Oh I have no skimmer on the tank either.

I think the red is part of the cycling process just ride it out. Unless it has bubles forming in it, then it is cyano.

Just a friendly update on my nano


I have added a nano skimmer, it seems to make no difference at least to me.
Also I have hit a major growth sprit. All my corals seem to be growing like weeds.

I’m also seeing a hair algae out break.

Nitrate 0.00
Nitrite 0.00
Am .00
Phose .00
Ph 8.0-8.5
Sal 1.20


I feed 3 times a week for the fish mysis,flake ETC.

I also have a sachem bag deal to remove phosphates.
Water change 20% every 2 weeks.

Also my leathers seem to be on coralroids. I would say they have doubled in the last month

Everything is going good nothing has died. But I am still fighting hair algae. We the contest is over I have a rainbow lifeguard filter I am going to fill with carbon and phosban and run the heck out of it to break the hair cycle. Good luck to every one….
