Thanks man.. balanced is probably an appropriate term because I feel like I’m walking a tightrope ;Hilarious I’m like perpetually on the verge major algae outbreak but when I cut my nutrients things get mad quickly.

thankfully very little is growing on rock at this point but I need to replenish my CUC soon, you can see the back wall engulfed in hair algae in this picture..

I had the same thing happen 3 weeks ago during the po4 spike. My tangs and fox face are enjoying it quite fine I'd say...

Nomnomnom.

Nice work.

I love how your acans are always puffed and extended to the max. Can just see how alive and healthy they always are.

thanks man.. those two on that rack need a new home, thinking about moving them to my Biocube or maybe trading them in at my LFS.

they are duplicates from the original batch I purchased. I ended up with way to many of them now that they are growing out, I have them all over the tank.. lol

Thought about it but the problem is finding real estate on the bottom of my tank for a rock that would be big enough, thinking I’m just going to scatter them around the rock work, maybe put a couple on ceramic plates to grow them out on the bottom.. I seriously need to clear some stuff out of my tank, those smaller trumpets and a few other things need to go.

Hey guy’s and gals, saltwateraquarium.com has a great deal on Salifert test kits! I needed a calcium one and it was only $13

Had my pumps off this morning while feeding my gorg’s, thought I would take some TDS pictures.

Very early.. accent lighting on, LED’s just starting to ramp, T5’s off.
