Looks great.I like your coral beauty and of course your other fish but i've always been fond of the cb.I see you have a frag or something strapped down.Could you tell us what it is?Also no bad intent but what is the green on the glass?

Nice setup but the green on the back is a little much. If you want to clean it and not take out coraline use and soft sponge but you must buy a new one that has NO SOAP ADDED!!! or you can buy one at the fish store for double the price and have no worries about it.

I like the tank! I also wanted to tell you that the sps coral in #4 is a pachyseris. a very slow groing sps coral that has still undefined lighting needs IMO. Some say nothing but halides, but then i have some growing in my tank, and i only have VHO. Didnt see that you mentioned this coral in your sig, so i thought i might let you know!

nice tank, i would however reccommend gettign some more live rock...it never hurts to have more hiding spaces for your fish, as well as increased biological filtration!
good luck

i am waiting for some more rock to cure as far as the tangs i am not worried about it now they are under medium size (3-4) inches so not to worried one day i will upgrade if we can sell the house i will do a 180 built in so not to concerned thanks for the feed back

as far as the pachyseris goes the lfs has had it for several weeks under vho so i am giving it a try plus i got a good deal on it

the straped frag is xenia. my xenia reproduce and the new piece was being shaded by the mother colony and was dying so i had to move it the green stuff is algae and is extremly difficult to remove plus i like it because the tangs eat it so i leave it only on the back that is the only place it realy grows i like the way it looks on the back though this way the tangs have some algae to graze on durring the day and the coral beauty as well
i am sorry for not typing this all in one post but i have been going back and forth to read different ?'s

The colouration of your live rock is awesome! So much coralline!

My pashyseris is doing real well under VHO as well.

the green stuff is algae and is extremly difficult to remove
I too let mine go, but after time I hated it and your right, it dont budge. If one day you do decide to try and get it cleaned of here's what I did earlier today. I got one of those flat scrapers with the blade and removed what was visible from the looking onto the tank and left what was behind the rocks for my angel. Looks sooo much brighter, I am very pleased. Oh yeah, either have a net ready to catch it or be ready to syphon and in turn a water change. Just sharing what worked well and fairly fast for me....

I would try and remove the green algea and feed the tang fresh spinach. You can get snails and hermit crabs that will remove that algea for you.
Mostly the snails do the best job on the glass, either mexican turbo's or cerith snails are good, maybee try some emerald crabs as well.
This is what i did and its the best thing to hit my tank, lowered maintainence to almost nothing just 10% water change a month no scraping algea off of glass!!
This would also help maintain your parameters.
Good luck
Just a suggestion

param are fine the algae is hard to remove even with the flat blade and the snails dont care for it it is also extremly thin so there would be no need to syphon it out
