So...some of you may have noticed that I've been a little bit *ahem*
annoyed with some algae growth in my little reef. I have Dictyota, Padina, Sargassum, three types of Valonia (bubble), Lobophora, Halimenia, and Caulacanthus ustulatus.
Here's some algae pics...

So I pulled all my live rocks just leaving the Caribsea Reef Rock (crap) in there to prop my corals up on, and put all the live rocks into a Rubbermaid tub in the dark with a powerhead and heater in hopes that the algaes will all die in the next 3-6 weeks.
This is what I pulled off all the rocks before putting them in the "cook" tub:
Algae salad anyone?
And here's a FTS before:
FTS after (lol):
Aw...poor corals. Not all of them are "out". Some are still pretty ****ed at me. Haha! they'll get over it. I created that mound on the left to put my Monti's close to the lights.
