wow ..very nice..looks very clean. Did you happen to have a bad algae/diatom breakout at any time...??? I am battling that as we speak..it is drivng me crazy! I can't stand my tank loking so dirty!

 

[addicted2]

did you use alot of solomon island rock?..it looks really nice! I used alot of that in my tank as well..

 

[pallan]

thanks for the compliments.
as to diatoms not really anything major, ive got lots of flow most of my nuisence algae happens in the refuge.
The Rock was sold as gap island rock, Love it, its half the weight of figi or marshall rock due to the branchiness and it stacks like legos so it does not fall down. also makes coral placement easy so you dont have to use epoxy, just push the coral plug into a space and it stays. my Rock is just kinda placed here and there ive seen someothers make some awsome looking reefs when they take the time to stack this stuff good. i plan to do a better job when i upgrade tanks in the future.

as i stated thats not to pretty. cant get the red slime to go away in the fuge. and cheato wont stay alive just releases nutrients back into system so recently added a deepsand bed in the fuge to give that a try. also been throwing loose frags in there so as to keep the spread of them to areas i want instead of kenya trees all over the tank lol, anyone need a kenya tree or two LOL
anyway dont laugh lol
