Re: Do I need to worry about this algae or remove it?
While these plants are listed for brackish water conditions they cannot flourish or thrive in the Opae Ula salinity of 1.010+. As you can see here on the list none of these will work. It's always good to check. This is why you usually never see any plants in Opae Ula tanks other than macroalgae. Som...

Re: Sustainability concerns in ecosphere
Trumpet snails don't require & that's why they're best suited for Opae Ula environments. There's just not enough in there to sustain a nerite snail. Their requirements are much more plus you have to consider making sure there's enough to sustain the shrimp. This doesn't mean feed more unless you...

Re: Sustainability concerns in ecosphere
It is fine the way it is. No feeding. All you'll have to do is top off the water with RO freshwater. You don't have to do anything else. Don't add any live spirulina. You can feed freeze dried spirulina but very little and that should be at the beginning of it. A horned nerite will not work in a sph...

Re: Help please! Larvae getting trapped in the brown algae
You should not be using an active substrate, Fort starters that's going to drop your PH a lot lower that what's suggested for Opae Ula. Break it down and start all over.

Re: Help please! Larvae getting trapped in the brown algae
For starters you should not have that piece of driftwood in there. I would remove it. It's great for FW shrimp tanks but not Opae ULa. Also what type of substrate is that? Looks like an active one.

No, it doesn't matter. Just dump it in.

Re: Is spring water safe for opae ula?
The issues with spring water is it will contain minerals which includes sodium, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. What you get from using a marine salt mix is all you need. Stick with distilled or RO.

Re: New addition - Spike Tail Malaysian Trumpet snails
Wonder shells work great. That's perfect for the snails.

Re: New addition - Spike Tail Malaysian Trumpet snails
Shells won't help. Maybe keep your ph up. What other forms of calcium do you have?

Re: New addition - Spike Tail Malaysian Trumpet snails
Just a heads up. These snails need a lot of calcium in the water in order to retain theirs shells. Lack of calcium in water will cause their shells to wear away.

Re: Opae Ula tank with normal marrimos: after 2 years, something new has sprouted?
Same form of chaeto sold here. Part of it just happens to have thicker strands that seems to grow that way sometimes. I have the same thing. Seems your SG is on the low side. These are the best pics.

Re: Water Refill
How are you going to add it in there? I assume it one of those that are completely sealed if you've had it that long & have never added any water.
