    Another great update mate tank is looking great and the colour of the corals is A+, the arrow crabs are creapy thing's, they look like spiders to me and I absolutely hate spiders Lol 🤣🤣, the algae has definitely cleared up alot , even in the last week or so 👍👍

      Hello mate, welcome to the hobby, Nessies Lair is by far the best LFS I've ever been to, if you pop in Jamie will be able to help you out no problem, he is a great guy! I'd avoid the Debbie's stores if I was you, the ones around here are not great 👍

    @Algaewarrior 3 роки тому +1

    I really liked my arrow crab. One of the coolest things is to see them dismantle a bristle worm. The algae situation looks a lot better! One thing I did with Flux rx is I would turkey baste the rocks and algae then use a toothbrush to help break it up and get the treatment the the algae roots. I guess that's 2 things but you get it.👍

    • @BeardedReef
      @BeardedReef  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks mate, yeah they are fascinating to watch! I spend ages sitting watching it feed, the algae is definitely a lot better, im changing the floss at least once a day now as it's thick with algae thats came off the rocks, ive been using the Turkey baster and the brush too, they both work really well! 👍

    Just keep your arrow crab fed! They will take out small nano fish when they are sleeping if they get hungry enough!

    Super interesting to hear about the arrowcrab. I've always liked them, but was worried how they might interact with my blood red shrimp. That green hair algae has improved so much in a week - very impressed. Great update mate 👍

    • @BeardedReef
      @BeardedReef  3 роки тому

      Thanks mate, the arrow crabs are so cool to watch, they might go for the shrimp if it's slow, I have 2 sexy shrimp in my tank and they just keep out of the way, keep it well fed and you should be ok. Yeah im getting there with the algae, hopefully be gone in the next week or 2. Thanks again mate! 👍
