- IT WORKS! Seachem PRISTINE After Two Weeks, NEW MACROALGAE & A Very Drippy Fish House Roof
After two week of adding Seachem Pristine I can see a dramatic improvement of my water clarity and also the brown algae is starting to receed. I have bought some new macroaglae with varying success and my fishhouse roof has a serious condensation issue.

I'm really happy with Pristine, it's my default bacteria blend for my tank.❤
Whenever it works or it's just a case, it's getting better so who cares.
Also I kinda like how it looks now, the brown algae is not enough to look messy, but gives a port area vibe to it... Adding in mussels would make it look really nice. (Granted you can't really add mussels, since they're not the best invert for a tropical fish tank and aren't really suited for captivity anyway).
I have used Pristine many times. The first time it worked very well, it even made a layer of decomposition on the surface of my aquarium and it was removed by filter and the water was extra clear. I bought another two or three times that product for other problems but those times nothing happened. So I guess it will depend on the bottle you buy. I don't buy it anymore. Instead I make the effort to buy prodibio products. It is a European product that comes in vials and it is difficult and expensive to get it in Mexico, but it has given me better results. 👍
Interesting thanks
I brought the Tank fot my first Macroalgae system, so thank you for all the help you gave me so far for planning it.
This Tuesday it finally arrives (I had to shrink it to a 125 liters though because I don't know if my floor can sustain a 250 and costs obviosly)
This is the final *official* stock list:
1 Garden Eel (too small for making a school without having males fight for territory now)
1 Aiptasia Filefish (might as well add another one, I'll see when it's established if my tank can sustain it)
1 Red Firefish Goby (same as the garden Eel)
1 Pearlscale Butterflyfish
ok ok hear me out, it's tecnically too small for it, but a 125 liters is usually 80 centimeters long (or at least mine is) and a Pearlscale Butterflyfish being one of the smallest of its kind, if not the smallest, is 15 max (usually 12).
So that means that in a 80cm tank it is 5 times smaller than the tank lenght.
If we take another fish as comparison, i'll use the Blue Tang.
The minimum lenght for a Blue Tang is 140cm and the max size is 30cm long: so it also has a ratio of 5.
This made me wonder, if people managed to make a blue tangs thrive happily in those tanks (while also considering the fact that Tangs are waaaaaaaay more active than Butterflyfish and need more space in general), could the same be done with Butterflyfish?
It's a little experiment I want to find out, if the fish feels stressed I'll simply rehome it, I already have a plan B in case it can't be done do I might as well test how he feels.
Also I have kept a Freshwater Angel in a 70 liters when I started my very first tank and I had no idea what I was doing... and he lived really healty and happy... so healty and happy is still alive today, after 9 years (one year below the normal lifespan of the species) and no, it's almost full grown, Freshwater Angels max out at 15cm (oh, just like the Butterfly) and he's from 13 to 14 (somewhere in between), super colorful and active.
I agree, it does look like a dramatic improvement. I might give Pristine a shot, for my own Dino issue. Can you please tell me the name of that gorgeous grey bodied, white tailed and yellow highlighted fish? Its stunning. Approx how many litres is that reef, it looks large? Thanks :)
You are the master of macroalgae
I'm just learning 🤣
I am planning to use it for first time in 180 gallon tank.. Is it safe for the catfish? Can you please help me with the dosage?
You mentioned a very invasive but blue macro algae in a video a while back. Do you remember the name by chance? Looking to start a macroalgae-mangrove tank and think this would be a great way to eventually make colors pop in the tank!
Hello yes it ls called blue Ochtodes / blue hypnea (depending on who you speak to). I will have it available in my shop when it's warmer if you are in the UK. You can see it in this video briefly at the back of my 5 foot tank I was thinking of breaking down
@@EverydayAquarist thanks for the name! I’m located in the US but I’ll keep an eye out for eBay listings like you mentioned. Thanks for all your great content 👍
I've heard good things from folk about Pristine. I don't think it's a coincidence mate.
Add me to the list of folk saying good things
lava Rock in a reef tank is a but strange and risky. but considering pristine after this just incase it adds to my tanks natural cleaning ability

I think you should keep it, it looks ugly but it's a bery healty system (also hance why it looks so messy).
Cancer-kun aside, all the others look really colorful and healty and like you said the anemone looks gorgeous.
Maybe if you can you should eradicate all the algaes manually and re-planting them, though I think it's pretty much impossibile now.
Might as well give a shot, no?
Also is that an Auriga?
It's one of my all time favourite fish I really wanted to have one of theese, I'm so envious now.
Thanks for all your feedback. I'm very tempted to just leave it as you say. It is an auriga and he's very macroalgae safe. Good luck with your own macroalgae tank
@@EverydayAquarist
Thank you.
Can I keep you updated on it if you don't mind?
On the Pearlscale Butterflyfish paradox especially, because if I manage to keep it, I want to share my challenge with someone else.
Sure
Would I need to remove activated carbon from the tank when I add Pristine to my Axolotl tank???
Yay
Thanks 👍
Where do you guys get your macro from?
I've been collecting for a few years from ebay etc
Maybe your Blue Reef Chromis has lymphocystis?
Possibly, but all the cases of Lymph i've seen are very different to this

Auriga Butterfly? Is that the one you mean
@@EverydayAquarist I just did a image search and no, its not the Auriga! The one that has the grey body, white tail, and two yellow "edges", maybe on the fins? Stunning, do you recall the name? Thanks :)
Oh do you mean the Tomini tang?
@@EverydayAquarist YES, I just looked it up. Thanks I appreciate your reply. Will be following along with your Reef. Good Luck!
