^I know I have been battling cyano and ich. The Cyano in one tank and ich in another. It has been a nightmare. Almost driven me to quit the hobby. And yet here I am setting up a 55 gallon FO tank as we speak...LOL
The cyano is insane! My anemone died from it. I have a protein skimmer and have been up on water changes and this stuff wont quit. My water is also kinda blurry from the alage.
Sorry my bad I thought it was Caulerpa.

Tank is looking great so far!

OK, I'm done! Here is my tank. As long as everything stays in place I'm not going to do anything else for a month and a half then I'm going to get my horses. I hope the gorgonians stay in place. I haven't had luck with either the superglue or epoxy. I used both on one of them. I'm sure they will get torn down within the first week of adding horses. Wish me luck on keeping my hands out of the tank for the next month and being able not to buy my ponies.
Without further ado, here is my tank (I didn't notice the algae , finishing my diatom bloom, oh and pods galore!!)

Right (This side is near a wall, but I still like showing it anyway, the tubes are chiller tubes)

Looks good. Depending on how much your macros grow though, you may need a couple more hitches. Cant wait to see it in a few weeks.

Nope. Fingers cross, Wed is supposed to be the magic day. I'm just so worried that I'm going to do something wrong. I'm a bit nervous. I have pictures of my prospective ponies
One of these 3 black and white guys

This yellow gal

And then just a plain black.
I went with erectus instead of fuscus since I found a breeder that was highly recommended.

I'm so jealous. They look good. Love the black and white one. I want one of those and a calico. Did you get boys or girls or mixed

They are mixed. The Black and white one is a boy and the black one is a boy and for now the yellow one looks like a girl LOL

They are doing well, thanks for asking! I'm trying to train them to a feeding dish without much luck, but the little turds will try to stick their snout up the turkey baster hole to grab food before the others
They will even follow it to the dish, but won't eat out of it. I think they like chasing them around. They are very active and hunt all day eating any pods they come across. I'm really enjoying these guys/gals
