Looks great. Since your starting to get SOME coralline algae-try PurpleUp. I have heard GREAT things about it!!

Thanks alot Adam!
Right now I have:
-1 foxface lo
-1 nemo clown
-1 royal gramma
-1 lawnmower blenny
-1 cleaner shrimp
-1 sand sifter stairfish
-lots of snails & crabs
the only for sure fish I plan on adding is:
-another clown
-and once I upgrade to a bigger tank (75 0r 90) I might add a hippo tang
For corals I plan on adding alittle bit of everything, but mostly lps, and solfties. I'm prombly not going to get a anenome because I think its to much of a risk with corals. I was just being sarcastic about my clown being called nemo.

My best friend that works at the LFS I go to recomended me reef advantage magnesium, made by Seachem. The reson I didnt get purple up, was becuse it has other additives in it that I'm already adding separate.

 

[devildog01]

All magnesium does is helps prevent premature calcium precipitation and helps stabilize PH and alkalinity. It doesnt really do anything to help coralline algae grow. You could get the hippo now small and if you have the 75 or 90 in 1-2 years you'll be fine!! PurpleUp does add stuff your already adding, but it doesnt add that stuff to an excessive amount-I would buy it.

 

[devildog01]

Just get the anemone before you get too many corals so it can get situated so it wont move-it will be happy, and then corals will be fine.

 

[jayc]

I'll check into that stuff then.

Guess what Josh? I GOT ME A HIPPO TANG TODAY!!! Dont worry, hes going in the 125 when I get it. He is a BABY. I named her Dory, go figure. I will take pics in a bit, shes eating just kinda skinny. She just got out of quarantine at the LFS so I didnt quarantine her, in fact when I got her she was just about to put her in the display tank from the q-tank when I said I wanted her. Just thought you'd like to know. And, about the new user name-one word, Vietboi. He got mad at me and he knew my password (helped me a while back on an old avatar) and he screwed up my settings so I had to make a new account.

looks really good JayC. It will look even better when your coraline kicks in and you get all the greens and purples all over your rock and glass.

 

[jayc]

Cool, adam! Cant wait to see pics!
Thanks saltyguy! I cant wait for the coralline algea to start growing either!!
