Looking great. I'm also battling some pale coloration and apparently not doing as well as you.

I understand your pain on the hair algae when I had my small tank up and running I had a battle to keep it under control while it never killed any coral it did promote a lot of algae growth making the tank look ugly.

Hopefully things continue to go better for you also I found out from a friend that he keeps 3 electric blue hermits in his tank 2 of them eat the hair algae like there is no tomorrow while the third sifts the sandbed might be an option worth looking at.

Are you running LED's over this tank now?

wow, great turn around and recovery Mindy! Many people would have either thrown in the towel or done way too much too quickly to try to "fix" their tank resulting in a much more worser tank. Your course corrections were much more precise and methodical. Like a BOSS

Thank you, it looks like it is on the mend now. I did forget to mention that I add 10 Mexican Turbo snails in May, and about a month ago I removed all my small snails (Cerith, Astraea, Ring Cowries) and added 8 Scarlet Hermits. The hermits won't bother the Turbos, but they will eat smaller snails. I think I'm going to add another 8 Scarlet Hermits. However, I was impressed that the Tang that died was completely cleaned up when I got from MACNA, so the clean up crew is efficient indeed!

Thanks Brett. How are you trying to improve color?

No. The lights are still 2x250w SE Phoenix and 2x54w KZ Super Blue.

Thanks Kien! It is a long road when it is so far gone.

Thanks! Yes, it was a Tang I lost too. It always makes you wonder what the heck happened.
