Here's a few pictures of my 90 gallon. I converted it to a reef about 3 months ago. I hope you enjoy them. It's getting there!

If you are talking about the spots all over the sand, that is the larger pebbles from the live sand activator I got from ISPF. If you are talking about the brownish stuff on the rock, it is a brown crusty algea that I posted about last week. I forget what it is called, but it is kind of crusty and flakes off. I was told that it just kind of goes away on it's own. If you know anything different, let me know.
Here is a closeup:

I have and Icecap 660 ballast running 440 Watts of VHO (2 Actinics and 2 50/50s). I can't post the link where I bought them but you can email through my profile and I'd be more than happy to tell you.

They are actinic blues and 50/50s (URIs) so they do have a lot of blue. The background is also blue so I think that makes it look a little bluer than the light.

how do you like you IPSF crew? i have about a 50/50 of ipsf. some things good, some things not so good
The IPSF detrivore kit was great. The sand bed clams was a waste, but everything else has been real successful.
The coraline growth is pretty good on my rock. The thing that drives me nuts is everytime I test my calcium with my Salifert test kit, it is usually around 380. I don't think it's ever been over 400 but my powerheads and glass are getting covered. Go figure.
