Somethings going right inside my reef because I've got purple coraline algea growing and spreading all over the rocks in my tank.Its even starting to grow in places on the rocks where there wasn't coraline algea before.I've also got what I believe is a small star polyp that only has 1 stem with 8 tenticles and now I've noticed that a second one is starting to form.I'm planning on doing a 5 gallon water change in the next 2 or 3 days.I really feel that things are going very well and I'm going to have great success this time around.Thanks to all at this site its alot of help for beginners and the more experienced give great advice. :D

Thanks for all the confidence builders they really help alot.I completed a 5 gallon water change today and did a basic clean up on my canister filter while still keeping my biological side still intact the way my LFS told me how to clean this canister.I'm still debating on wheather to get a fish or a coral next but that purchase is still at least 2 weeks away.My next purchase either will be a Royal Gramma or some more Mushroom corals.I have 1 single Mushroom and its doubled in size since I got it as a bonus on a piece of live rock I bought a while back.
:D

I'm pretty sure that they're star polyps of some sort because they have 8 tenticles that are green on the tips and the mat is pink.My mushroom coral is loving life in my tank and is growing more each week.I'v almost decided to add all the corals that I've got in my plan slowly first then add the fish in my plan so they won't pick at the new coral additions in the future.Everything is going to plan so far.This site has helped me a great deal in the decisions I make for my little eco-system.This site rocks hard!!!!!If anyone wishes to talk tanks email me at huntingfishinglover@msn.com :D
