This Metallic Green/Gold Milli
 
Soo been fighting Dino's for a while still.
Went an all natural approach and it basically backfired in a good and bad way.

Started dosing nualgi to try and naturally rid the system of the pest algae.
The algae growth In turn exploded but that was expected, it just after almost two weeks didn't start going away just worse and worse.

The good news was the corals looked fantastic during the dosing period.
Everything is growing like weeds and all fat and happy, however all my rocks and sand were coated with thick mats of Dino algae.
I had finally had enough.
Four day lights out while dosing Peroxide in large doses, added carbon for the first time ever on this tank and new GFO. Cut back feeding, and light cycle prior.
Transplanted all Gorgs and Acans as well as a large maze brain and some other misc corals to a friends tank that the algae was really bothering.
All pods were poisoned by the algae and have died, almost all sand critters were wiped out.
Cyano bloom from the die off mixed in with a random green slime algae outbreak.
That's just the highlights of what's happened.
No lost corals or fish from it thankfully.
Lights will come on tomorrow and a water change will follow.
We will see what the morning produces and for now a recent FTS.
My Nem keeps moving around. All SPS growing at record rates. Dosing pump doing it's job.
Picked up two new fire fish that are awesome and a recent FTS for the archives

Your rock work is absolutely amazing! I love it. I wish I could pay you to come do mine, hahaha! Anyway, how many pounds do you have in that 100 gallon tank?
 
Thanks,
And I'm available for a small fee
It is exactly 100lbs of rock.
Didn't plan that, just worked out that way.
Also the rock structure isn't touching the back glass.
There is a 3" gap behind all the rocks as well
 
Awesome pics, so colorful! Really cool rockscape too! I didn't see the blue regal in the vid, what happened to it? That thing was huge and cool in your other pics!
 
I miss him a lot.
He just got too big. During feedings he would get soo excited that he would run into and break up my sps colonies and was also trying to eat my acans.
I sold him to a doctor who had a 530 gallon tank.
He's got lots more room now :)
