SPS dominated from Indonesia

[The_Quick]

Hi All...

I'm from Indonesia, and want to share my tank build. Maintank is a custom build 110G. This is my first post to Reef central tank build thread.

My Maintank is 4,9 X 1,65 X 1,65 ft, and with sump 3,9 X 1,3 X 1,3 ft. For this build I use ATI powermodule 6X 39W for lighting and Bubble magus C7 for skimmer. Apex Neptune for control lighting and all equipment.

Start with rockscapping...

I got problem with algae blooming last month, and it was very strange. Algae blooming only when light go off. In the morning I can't see inside, but after lights on for 3-4 hours the water become more clear. I change water almost 75%. Anyone know what wrongs ?

Thanks

Sorry, almost 2,5months cycling...

[Newbie Aquarist]

You're tank is not even mature yet so your algae problem is part of the cycle. It will eventually go away.

You do have a nice tank for it to be so young. Are you doing ZeoVit?

[lovelia_renatha]

Mr.Eka good luck

[pocci]

How many often do you water change? What filtration do you use? Can you please post your sump?

Nice tank btw....

I think so, this tank not mature yet. But that algae problem making me courious, I asking all my friends and they didn't know about non photosynthetic algae. After do waterchange almost 75% and I got good result, water become clearer.

I didn't use Zeo system, now I run with Red Sea reef care programe.

Mr.Eka good luck

I do weekly 5% waterchange with red sea coral pro saltmix. I just use skimmer and liverock for filtration. Will post for my sump soon. And thanks for your reply..

Very cool rock design. I like it!

Yeah, me too.. But I can't use all liverock because of they covered with algae, try to used some of old liverock in my first try and they're comeback. So I need to replace them all.
