|  24 gal aquapod success!!! I have been in the hobby for about 8 months. never been on a forum and I had a few questions. I just got a trachophyllia radiata coral excuse spelling i am not latin. or just a lime green brain. does it need spot feeding? or is it photosynthetic? Also My 24 gal aquapod just went through hell of a time with diatoms for about 2 and a half months then all of a sudden in 4 days poof! gonzo and looking gorgeous again. Also i wanted to say I am obvious very brand newby so all advise is greatly appreciated  |

|  Welcome.. Diatoms will come and go with a young tank. Especially if you use tap water in your tank. Your brain will be fine on it's own, but it wouldn't hurt adding zoomax a few nights a week.

| So no spot feeding at night? I dont have zoomax but i do have kentmarine phyto plex and coral accel. I also feed the tank flake food and mysis shrimp. the day the diatoms started disapearing was last saturday. I did a water change with grocery store r/o water and viola gonzo. Also only no more than ten hours of light and feeding only once a day. I also got rid of the filter stuff except a bag of chemipure. i also modified my tank. got rid of the pump and put two maxijet 900's and a hydor flo deflector and half inc h locline 125 spouts. just a couple of spots of diatoms, but dissapearing dramattically. Also in the back of the tank I have green spots developing possibly good algae? |
