Bam! Very nice, I like the pinks.

I might think about losing the caulerpa though. That's a guaranteed headache for you sooner or later (having it in the main display that is). I put some in my tank in 2002 - it still shows up every few months despite I-don't-know-how-many-times I've "eradicated" it. Apparently it's also not good for SPS in close proximity due to allelopathy. (Although I can't say that it looks like your SPS growth is stunted. )

Lando, I think I saw that pink birdsnest on frags.org. I'd like a frag sometime

As well, do I see the back glass cleaned from the previous pics? My glass looks similar, but I've been hesitant to clean it....mostly because I don't know how. Will there be chunks of stuff floating around the tank?!?!

But your tank looks GREAT. Love all the SPS. And, of course, the Watanabes...if that is what they are.

The caulerpa came out of nowhere, I never wanted any macro in the display. Eventually when I get time I am going to get rid of it. Hopefully sooner than later. The halimedia is also becoming a PIA.

Chef: I used a easy blade scaper to clean the glass. Yes stuff was floating everywhere and as you can see I am not finished yet.

Wow, it looks like you've had amazing growth and new colors since the J&L order we did awhile back!

WOW looks fantastic.
I have had caulerpa issues in the past. Best to find time soon. If you don't want it in the tank it will be your worst nightmare

I have to agree with the "worst nightmare" part. The stuff is insidious and it has an almost intelligence to it. For example, I'll find it growing in spots I can't see from the front of the tank. How does it know where to grow where I won't see it (and thus won't prune it)? Obviously it's just coincidence but it's happened often enough to me that I find it a bit weird that it's doing that.

Exactly the same thing happend to me.
In my old 75 I had a few spots that I would prune and make all nice. But when I tore the tank down my rock work was glued together with the stuff. pounds of it. and you know you couldn't see it from the front.

I know what you mean, I have been trying to keep it in check but it really is smart stuff.
