My 46g Bow Front Tank by Sakura2282

Hey how's the tank doing?
It's doing good, the corals are happy, but it's in need of a water change. I'm still dealing with nitrates and some algae blooms, but the emerald crab is helping a lot and also my snails. After the water change I will post some pictures. I don't have new additions to show, at least not until I can control my nitrates again.

Thanks for asking! ;)
 
My emerald crab had molted twice dince I got him. Now he's super big I never imagine he'll grow that fast. I will post some pictures as doon as I can. I thought he was a monster lol.

I posted some pictures of my tank, my corals are growing nicely, but I'm still dealing with the hair algae and my nitrates.
 
Hair algae is something pretty much every tank goes through at some point. If you can, bump your Magnesium levels up to about 1800-2000. Do it slowly each day till you achieve the levels I just said and the hair algae should bleach away and die very quickly. Then you can stop dosing Mag and your problem should be solved. Glad to hear everything else is going well, keep up the good work :)

Thanks for the advice @AnthonyTheNewbie. I will keep it in mind. ;)
