It is! It's been someone tricky as it seems that every different type of yuma likes specific conditions, so it's tricky finding the right flow, light etc for optimal growth. So far so good though, I'll post an update of my tanks soon :)

I dont want to jump the gun but the hypersalinity seems to have killed off the bryopsis penata and fast i might add. Wish yall could see the smile on my face  :P

What SG did you raise to?  Did you have to take anything out of the tank when doing so?

salvini55

I raised the salinity to 1.028 and the briopsis died in a matter of 3-4 days. Everything did well in the tank, shrimp, crabs, clam, fish and coral all did great. I am back down to 1.025 now because my ATO failed and ~30gallons of RO got pumped into the tank (and on the floor). I siphoned out as much of the dead algae as i could and the Foxface and crabs did the rest.

List of a few species that ate the bryopsis penata;

foxface rabbitfish
yellow tang
rainfords goby
hermit crabs
sea hare
fighting conch (only once algae was dead)
trochus snails (only once algae was dead)

I'd never had problem with hair algeas it took me a month half to recycle my tank before adding corals weird as well didn't add any additives all I know just those green slimy algeas spreading so fast all over my LR's I know those causes of phosphate. I've got my powder blue that time anyway ever since I gave up him due that it's seems getting bigger everyday, I've got this tiny at mscape his been my 40g I miss this fish. What I have problem now is red cyano my green stag only 2 branches left still fighting to recover & took off my bio-pellets seems this causes of some acro my tank loosing color back to normal Gfo & as well back to t5 again corals like this light specially my deep water acro

You guys really need to stop posting such nice pics, you're
making it awfully tempting to venture down the salt road.
Good thing I'm broke, otherwise I can see getting into
trouble.

Well played sir... well played.

salvini55

good idea, map the gps location of the fish to see how fast my tang swims for one side to the next in my tank

We could have fish races!  Wouldn't that be cool?  haha!!  Who has the fastest SW fish in Ottawa.  You will win a prize ;)
