ok, couple of questions, one on a coral the other on water quality.
first, I have a huge head of candy canes, light green, not the neon ones. It is about the size of a softball, and the heads are packed pretty tight to each other. My wife asked should we frag some heads out to give the others room to grow. Below is a pic of it. What do you guys think who know more about candy canes? frag? frag individual heads out? Split into like 4 colonies and let grow? Leave it the hell alone? It is healthy and seems quite happy on the sand glued to the rock I put it on. Do NOT want to kill or damage it. In the middle it seems that maybe some of the heads are dying from being packed too tight. Opinions please?
hard to see, but there are a few places on the second pic where the heads seem to be dying, one or two of them.
Next question, I have defeated the few microbubbles I had, but I continually have some little pieces of my macro algea floating in the water column with the flow. I am running carbon, running GFO, running a UV sterilizer. After taking Eric's advise and putting in the carbon and GFO reactors, my water did clean up a lot. And the last of the little tiny vestiges of the algae are now gone. Tank is looking really good now. BUT I want to know what everyone uses to keep all of the little bits of macro algea from floating around the tank. I thought about sponges, etc in the overflow area of the sump. I do get macro over sticking to the inlet to my return pump, so need to stop that also.
I know the macro floating in the tank does not hurt anything and my army of tanks eat any pieces they see, but trying to keep my pump intake clear and keep the macro in the sump where it does the most good.
