Got a chance to test my water again tonight.

Phos - 0

pH 7.8-8.0

Ammonia 0

Nitrite 0

Nitrate 5.0

I think my cycle is done?!

I have a couple coral in my 10 gallon I would like to move over. What sort of dip should I use to kill off the bubble and red cyno I have been fighting in it?

Or would it be safer to not move them over? It's two Kenya trees and a big chunk of gsp.

Try and remove the bubble algae from the coral without popping them. I think you would be able to just use a turkey baster to remove the cyano.

The coral has no algea on them, but in the tank they are in I have been fighting both bubble algae and cyno. While both are almost all gone I don't want to inadvertently introduce it to my new tank.

Which is why I was thinking dipping them would be a safe idea.

I use the revive dip for my new frag additions.

Picked up 3 frags from the fish store yesterday. Got a orange eye chalice, acan and a random red sps coral. I also picked up some revive to dip all my corals in.

Unfortunately I need to work on my coral photography skills. Hard to get cell phone pics that turn out well.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9f120e12d9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...609f324821.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6b7572d39c.jpg

Where do you have bubble algae?

I have the bubble algae in my 10 gallon. It's almost completely gone, but if I transfer over the few surviving coral I don't want to bring in any bubble algae or cyno. So hopefully the revive will kill it if there is any hidden on them.

So moved around the corals I bought into slightly more permanent places... I hope.

Also experimented on some frags of gsp I made. I dipped one in hydrogen peroxide and the other in revive. They both had some film like algae covering them. The first picture is of the gsp frag dipped in hydrogen peroxide. Looks likes it's opened up more than the other frag.

You can also see my one algae I have in the pictures.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...eed859e36e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c35de73722.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a6e46c2489.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...42f5f294fe.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...bba2c1a400.jpg

My one acropora frag I got seems to have developed some red algae. Any ideas on what it is and how to get rid of it?

Turbo snails maybe or can I pull it off?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3e9b0715f7.jpg

Looks almost like cyano (makes sense with a new tank). I could be wrong but that’s my guess.
