UnCycled Fiji Dry Rock | Magnets & Brown Diatoms | 75gal Mixed Reef
Channel: National Reefing
Date: 2020-08-05

In this video, quick check-in on the addition of Fiji rocks glued to spare magnets mounted on the back glass both right and left-hand side of the overflow box.  My reef tank has bubble algae in the water column but the Yellow Tang and combo of the refugium seems to keep it under control (75gal Saltwater Aquarium Mixed Reef Tank | Beginning of Photo Period).

The brown diatoms are a fact of life even though the reef has been going for 5 years and 10 months.  Unfortunately liquid bacteria dosed into the reef tank will not change that fact only time and patience.
