    I think GSP would look sweet for the entire floor of the tank. Imitating as grass, then any corals you decide on the structure. Almost making it look like a tree in real life yet a coral version of a tree. Something that’ll look unique and not natural might actually end up looking sweet!

    Sea hare are a much better algae control than snails in that they do not bump into corals and without the shell , no algae can grow on them . Sea hare are constantly prowling and consuming algae just like snails but would not dislocate corals . I chose them over any snails .

    With flatworms, you have to treat again after 7-10 days to kill off any of their eggs that have hatched. Flatworm-Exit doesn't kill the eggs.

      Not a flatworm expert but I just did a bit of google and apparently they prey on copepods! I would probably get rid of them if I plan on keeping copepods eating fish (dragonets, pipefish etc.)

    I’ve had acoel flatworms in my system for about 6 months. I’ve been hesitant from dosing flatworm exit to my tank because I have heard horror stories from other people about it killing their fish, corals, bacteria, and other living things in the tank. Plus, I haven’t noticed anything bad happen because of them (but you never know)
    Also wanted to mention, I have a TH-cam channel that’s inspired by your channel and a few other channels and it would make my day if you checked it out.

    • @uuncebret
      @uuncebret 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, it will also kill bacteria.. some corals will be stressed like blastomussa, you'll be surprised this flatworms in all over corals like zoas, blasto, euphyllia, crawling on their tissue, and the treatment will took 2 times, some annoying fw will need more drops.. after treatment your tank much likely a new cycling tank..some brown algae will appears, so I'm threatening this with dosing bacteria, wc more often..btw I don't see any harm in fishes..
