Okay, you say it is brown no problem. This type of algae is very common for new setups and just read some threads on how everyone gets rid of it.

good to hear good feedbak tho.

Yeah I had thought so, just wanted to make another user aware that you could keep any types of living corals with each other.
The tank looks good though. Dead coral isn't all that bad especially if you don't want all the extra care of live ones & what-not. My older brother used to have a 55g with nothing but dead corals & it looked pretty good. Just every once in a while you may need to take them out to scrub them or what he did from time to time was soak them in a very light bleach with water solution then let them dry in the sun then soak in water with chlorine remover.
Looking great though. :jumping:

I would suggest maybe more rock or doing some aquascaping. Arrange your rock so there are places to hide, manuver to get away from other fish chasing them. And just simple entertainment. Fish like to swim around thru the rocks. And it is more pleasing to the eye.
Otherwise it looks like you are off to a good start.

yeah there are a ton og hole they love to go through but twith the camera you cant see it and haveing more rock would be nice but budget dosent want to allow it now cus i have to put money away for a upcoming winter of SNO-X or trust me i would have a 150 gallon tank with corals and the best of a LOT bbut other then that i went with the 30 gal cus that is what i could afford at the time.. eventhough i GOT RIPPED off there isnt anything i can do but i WILL work on getting more rock!!!

Email me at craiggraham32670@msn.com. I'll tell you where I got my recent rock for the new tank ( not the one I'm having nitrate issues with in the recent thread on here ) for what I thought was a great price.
