Whoa, your tank looks super clean! Neat macro algaes.

Love the rock scape Sam, what is that red thing up top?

[cpenner]

And how do you keep it so clean!?!?!

[Samw]

Thanks guys. I polish the water with carbon and I think my PC lights help increase contrast.

Hey Danny, the red algae is Halymenia.

I'm curious about the 2 Centropyge, Sam - how is their relationship?

Great pic's :cool: How often do you run your carbon ? Been thinking of trying in on my 33g, never tried it with salt water before.

Yah, me too Sam, how did you get two dwarf angels to get along? :cool:

[Samw]

AJ and Deb, I didn't do anything to make them get along. I've had the Flame for years now and I didn't want to add another baby Regal Tang because of the huge bioload and their fast growth rate. But after selling my Tang, my tank looked empty.

So 2 months ago, I bought a Lemon Peel to try out. The first week, the Flame would beat the crap out of the Lemon Peel. The chasing continued for about 2-3 weeks. At no time was the Lemon Peel's life in danger. There was some torn fins and probably loose scales but that was about it. Then, I think the Flame Angel realized that he can't chase the Lemon Peel away for good and they just live absolutely in peace now. There are no more torn fins on the Lemon Peel and there are no more quarrels at all.

Andestang, I run the carbon 24/7. But when I took the picture, the water was not as clear as usual because I hadn't changed the carbon in maybe 5 or 6 weeks. Somehow, the bulb makes everything look clearer in the pictures.

Yeah or it's all Photoshop work! :razz:

Is that a couple of gorgs I see..??
How do you find them for ease of care?

How about a close up shot... :mrgreen:

[Samw]

Muck, one's a purple sea plume that I've had for 3 years. Its normally a fast grower but not in my tank. It receded a bit but its stablized now. The other is a non-photosynthetic blue gorgonian that I've only had for 2 months. Its doing OK but not sure how long it'll last. I'm feeding it frozen rotifers and cylopeeze and also Liquidlife Coralplankton and Liquidlife Marinplankton.

Here are some old pics of the Purple Sea Plume
