Got a microscope, not sure what I'm doing with it but I got some pictures from my scrapings. Not sure what kind of zoom I need to set on this thing.

Spent Alot of time cleaning the glass almost felt like scraping off a thin coat of ceramic. I think I let it go too long. Getting Alot of green film algae on the rocks and started to get some hair algae growing near the top of my tank. I added some more snails. My dragons breath has been growing great lately so I put some on a clip to see if anyone would eat it. No takers yet. I will do some testing tonight when I get some free time.
 
Another update. Still little Coraline algae growing. Left skimmer off for 4 months and have cyano running wild now! Got behind on adding kalk wasser. Not sure if that had a contribution or not. Do not register any nitrates or phosphates I think because of my algae growth. All of my current corals seem to be doing OK. Anemones just running wild!
