hey chris i havent seen your old anthias in a while are they still allive? are the new ones eating yet? :)

 

[chris B]

they have settled in well and the other 2 anthias are going great and the are all eating brine shrimp and been feed twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon

as i have been off a week, the tank was going great and will run test and added a uv sterilsed after seeing a heap of hairy algaue on the rocks and cleaned the glas and moved some of the corals around after going a gravel vac . it all of sudden started to appear, i am now got to get rid of the hairy algaue from the tank

A UV will do nothing for algae on rocks, a UV is only good for waterborne alage's or green water. A quick google search will validate this so I suggest you read up on them before you buy one.

Control the Nitrates and Phosphates by Water changes and limiting the amount of food you feed the tank or look at getting a Lawnmower blenny in addition to keeping the water really clean.

I wont suggest chemical means of limiting the No3/Po4 as I think you would benefit more from good husbandry then relying on a bottle to fix a problem.

I am now working out the Phos Ban Reactors & Nitrate Reators to add to the tank. I went and looked at the shop at stanmore and i felt some of the corals looked sick from the lights and didn't buy any , Here is pic of the hammer that i am looking for to add to my tank.Also i am starting to lern to propergate the morphs as they are getting out of control and looking at selling them or trading them in near future.
