Well, here's my new little Urchin buddy. Hopefully he does what I've read elsewhere on the net and mows down all my algae.

I have my fingers crossed for you!
Say, how's your 70 doing? I don't think you have a journal for it do you? |

Hey Myka, no I don't have a thread for my 70G tank. I didn't even know about this site when I started that tank. I've included a few pics in the FTS thread but not much more.
The tank is doing well. I'm still struggling with some algae on those two acros tips but hopefully my change to dosing will help in the long run. As for my urchin, so far, he's ripped some algae off to use in his camoflage, but I don't see any eaten yet. Not sure how fast that happens so maybe I'm just being impatient. I will try to get a FTS of the nano with my wife's camera tonight. It is an A640 so it has more range, including controls over the aperature...which my camera doesn't. Don't uncross those fingers...lol..

Well after suggestions from a few people I thought I would put a picture of my 70G tank up since I haven't done so in a long time.
![]() I originally wanted to change over from softies to SPS with the odd LPS but now I'm in a holding pattern until my new tank is started (roughly a 280g) where I hope to have some softies at one end (low flow end) and SPS at the other end.

Yeah....I'm looking forward to it. I'm waiting this week to find out if the contractor for our new house can start in late Oct, early Nov. If not, they will push us to early spring which will make me want to cry. If they can start, then I'll be putting quote requests out for an 84x32x24 tank along with a 100g sump. It will be a peninsula tank and we've already drawn it into the plans with a basement fishroom (8 x 10).
You can see why I want to get started already.
