Your set-up, and room are awesome. Your fish are pleasantly plump!! Good job. I think your hippo tang is saying " I need Jenny Craig." !!!

The blue ric is nice, but those orange rics are awesome. Nice find on the paly's. Good looking tank.

Rock looks decent, but oh boy the sand has got to go!!! Yikes!!! Doesn't look like you have much flow in the tank. Without doing much for the sand the rock will eventually look like the sand.

Nobody has an orange footed moon snail? I find that hard to believe. Come on guys, and gals, someone must have one to give me advise. It seems happy in my tank, but worried that it might need something I don't have, or offered it.

Hands down my coral beauty.

"A picture is worth a thousand words." Any chance of a pic?

Thanks Devil Dog. I got a good pic of my orange-footed moon snail the other day. Yes, I know that they like cooler waters, but he has been with me since September 2007 and is doing just fine. He was given to me, I was hesitant in putting him in the tank since I keep the tank at 80-82 degrees...

Yes, it is a stomatella snail. In my opinion they are worth their weight in gold. Excellent algae feeders. Unfortunately, you can't buy these, they are hitchikers. Usually come out at night, or when the light is really low....actinics for example.

The only full tank shot I have is from December......must confess, I have added to it since this was taken. I guess I need to update my photo bank!! As requested.................

Thanks, its a Kodak EasyShare CX7430. Nothing fancy....

Here are some new ones taken recently. My tank is really coming along.....almost running out of room, but don't tell my other half!!!

Originally Posted by JThomas0385 so the algae on the glass is not good? Not sure what you are asking here? All saltwater tanks will get some sort of algae, algae film more like it, on the glass. This is unavoidable. Daily use of a magna float to clean it off the glass is the norm. Turning the...

Originally Posted by Noah's Nemo Good info,thanks.So do you increase your coraline growth with more snails?Along with everything else it takes to grow. One of the ways, but don't overload your tank with them. They don't eat corraline, so you must have enough food for them to survive also. When...

Halimeda is a calcium loving saltwater plant. You must have excellent, if not somewhat higher levels of calcium for this plant to thrive. It is also light dependent. It is normal for the platelets to turn white at night, but should regain its color after a few hours of the light coming back on...

Remember that they graze on corraline rocks and other corraline covered objects. Since they are somewhat slow, and they dislodge pieces of corraline and their shell is all calcium, it is no wonder that they are covered in corraline. Snails are actually a good source of growing corraline in the...

I would suggest putting the powerhead on the right side of the tank and point it toward the left side (toward the koralia) This will give you a very good circular motion of water in the tank. Nice set-up, tank looks good. A lot of cyano problems are caused by not enough flow, which your...
