    Loves me a Sun Coral

    Here is a pic of my new sun coral (still shy and barely feeding, but he will be pampered). Fish store wasn't taking very good care of him, he doesn't have any recession so i figured he just needed some TLC. also here is a pic of a muscle/clam in the middle of my zoo's (pic taken right after...

    29g in progress (slow but steady)

    The urchin has not moved anything around (yet). He has wedged himself into some pretty tight places during the day but most of my rockwork is made up of large pieces and all of tem are locked together extremely tight. all in all, he is a pretty peaceful little guy.

    The urchin is awesome. He hides in the cave work during the day and then pops out at night to munch on algae. His orange accents are really pretty and he is eating well.

    will this algae that I have cycle it's way out? When it's time to add the clean up crew will they take care of most of it? sorry for all the random questions. I am using R/O water, and ammonia just finally hit 0 today. Nitrites are slowly going back down. More pictures soon.

    What are some types of Zoo's that you would suggest (the more color the better). Also, what is the best way to get rid of the slime algae? Thanks for all the replies so far.

    Gale's new tank diary

    Here are some updated pics (taken today). I'm not sure if the red fuzz that is growing on my rocks is diatoms or what(it is more red than brown). Also does anybody know what type of plant may be growing in the third pic? I also added about 20 empty hermit crab shells (you can see them in the...

    Gale's new tank diary

    Current plans for the tank involve several scarlet hermits, several various kinds of snails and maybe some other interesting invertebrates. As far as fish are concerned, a Clown Fish, Royal Gramma and a Six Line (all added much further down the road, obviously) I am looking into doing some nice...
