Ok first pic is my skimmer looking from the front of the tank, its rated for tanks up to 400g

as you can see cleaning needs to be done..
This pic is from the back

again cleaning needs to be done
This is a pic of some blade colarapa...spelling is wrong sorry

This next pic is chatomorphia......spelling is wrong again lol

After my wife and I get the sump cleaned up I'll get some better photos of my sump/fuge..
Does any body else have hair algae in there refugium...for some reason I do, I'm thinking the bulbs on the lighting over the fuge need to be replaced

Any questions/comments or ideas feel free to holla.
Thanks again for checking my thread out.
Brian

I bet, soon i plan to take the plunge and get a 100+galllon tank FOWLR and im sure that will be a huge maintainance jump from my 24Gnanocube
Cant wait for more pics

Ya its going to be a lot more maintenance but your tank remains a lot more stable in a 100+ gallons compared to a smaller amount of water

My Powder blue tang is chowing on this green stuff, see it turning white, my first thought on the green stuff turning white was low calcium, so we tested calcium and its at 450, not only that but I cought Mr powder eating on it

Full tank pic, small changes here and there.

Dark pic, but my Copper band butterfly fish has done a number on the aptasia population

That's about all the pics we got for now, my wife does the camera work, cameras and I don't mix lol..
Any questions or comments feel free,
Brian

Brian, well i finally took the plunge and in the last week or so i have been starting to buy equipment for my Build. Im going to do a 150Gallon with 75Gallon sump FOWLR, im soooo excited...
How about some new pics? also what skimmer you rockin?

Not sure if you decided against the korilia ph's or not (I wanted to stay away from PH's in my new tank too, but decided to get some to boost my flow to around 65x per hour in a 40 gal) but I found a great site that has korilia 3's for $27.49 and 4's for $33.99 - they have free shipping if you spend $150 too. I am getting everything that i would get from the dr's site for 1/2 - 2/3 the price - PM me if you want a link.

I love your madarin! I cant wait to get one for my new 58 gallon. But Im not through cycling.

sigh. I need to get a fuge first too. Keep up the good work, your tank looks awesome!

halimeda algae. Its a calcifying algae (the great barrier reef is composed of mostly old calcified halimeda) so turning white is normal. growing well is a good indication of sufficient calcium. Most tangs wont touch it. your must be greedy! nice tank! if you ever get the urge to do an SPS start up a nano 30gallons or less (cubes are cute). it will be a cake walk maintaining compared to the 150g and everything so much cheaper (except the corals).
