Have you ever had something take over your tank?

Some things in our reef tanks can get a little out of control if we don't take the proper precautions to tame them. Maybe it is abundant algae, or perhaps it is GSP covering your entire back wall.

I’m waiting on the astroturf gsp on my glass , grown 2 cm in a few weeks
Xenia on the opposite side
Should be good but will need trimming at some point

If xenia is anything like anthelia it will beat the gsp worst idea ever adding anthelia to my tank

I would love a tank like this set at 100% blue light.

No kidding! I would love to have a dedicated GSP tank like that.

Yes, a lot of things I regret even putting in the first place
pardon the bad spelling…

• Green palys,
• orange palys,
• gsp,
• pulsing xenia, anthelia (spelling)
• purple, blue and green shrooms
• Devils hand
• kenya tree

I’ve always wanted to start a tank with all the above and see what wins

There was a mom and pop fish/coral store ( in their basement) in Seattle that had a 90 gallon tank with live rock, a few fish and was wall to wall pink tip majano's. I do mean wall to wall. Some of them even go to be 3"-4" across.
It was pretty cool looking.( in their tank)

Unfortunately I had a outbreak of pink tip majano's in my 240. Got so bad I took it down and bleached out the rock.

Greem disco mushrooms. They release and sting/kill anything they touch.
