well here are some pics of my aquapod.
not to much lr, but i've got a cool cave. all the corals i've fragged myself, only thing i didn't frag is the gorgonian. and the micro algae grows pretty well, i'll have to thin it out again soon....i don't really mind it being back there.

thanks for the comments.
the micro algae feeds off the light and nutrients in the water, it just does well in my tank. i don't add anything right now, i'm using oceanic salt with high cal. i am going to start adding some buffer to get my alk higher.
24gal aquapod. its a purple brush gorgonian.
as for the zoos i do filter feed them. i don't think its needed to do this, but i do. someone that knows more about it, speak up.
there were two polpys(the green zoos in the picture below) when i fragged them, and they look great now.


here is some more pics - two types of star polyps.


almost like i have a frag tank, i really need to get some more big pieces of rock and aquascape a little better.

sweet tank. i gotta break some rock up into little peaces like that and put them in the front. is it safe to move rock around after my tank has cycled.

Nice looking set up. It doesn't look too over crowded and has a nice mix of coral.
By the way, chaeto is macro algae not micro algae....

lookin good i like the gorgonian too ive never had one b4 but ive heard they are hard to care for
i think a nice lil Brain or frogspawn would look really nice in the tank and ur clown would probably love the frogspawn

standard aquapod lighting.

All corals doing well. The pic of the green zoos started with two polyps and now has over 15 in a matter of 4 or 5 months. pretty good growth, i think.

Thanks for the compliment
yeah, i've been thinking of getting both a brain and frogspawn. I've been held up with starting two other tanks at the moment.
