My 24 Gallon Reef

This is my 24 gallon reef, it isnt doing that great right now but i thought i would start a build thread anyway: the tank is a jbj nanocube 24 gal. And has been running for about 10 months. My current stocking is:
1 extreme misbar black clown (bubbles)
1 royal gramma (gramma)
And 1 tailspot blenny (benny)
In the future i plan on getting a davinci clown and a pair of greenbanded gobies. For coral i have:
1 acan
1 hammer
Eagle eye zoas
Mohican sun zoas
Mohawk zoas
And some other zoas that i dont know the name of. I will get some pictures later

Oh yeah and for filtration i have filter sponges in the first aio compartment, chaeto and marine pure in the second, and heater and return in the third. And i also have bio balls spread out across all three compartments.

 

Heres a fts:

 

Nice fluffy acan

 

Grammaw fish

 

Imao pretty good fish, but occasionally bossy

 

Thanks btw

 

Pretty much the only thing happening is my acan is growing a new head

 

All the fish are doing great

 

Love the acan. That’s beautiful red coloring in it.

 

Yeah, I think it's my favorite coral so far

 

I do every now in then, it's been a while

There might be some big toys coming soon! My parents are going to pay me to rebuild the roof of our outbuilding, $200, plus I have another job I'm doing for $100. I'm hoping I'll have these done before black Friday, and then maybe I'll get a ai prime, and maybe an mp10. As for the tank, it isn't doing too great. All the fish are fine, and so are the hammer and acan (the acan actually grew a 3rd head) but the zoas are getting swamped by hair and bubble algae. I'd add a picture, but it doesn't look that great, and also nothing has really changed. And also Im not at home right now. But maybe I'll get pics later

 

what do your water parameters look like? how often do you blow off your rocks? how often do you vac the sand? like stella said algae loves nutrients and is a natural part of tanks to a certain extent due to this nutrients.

I would first test the water. Then manually remove as much as you can and wc and sand vac to drop nutrients.
I personally use chemipure blue and seachem purigen. check the rear aio compartments for excess detritus that can fuel the algae.

 

I got a Kessel for Christmas!

 

Sweet. Nice haul.
