Let me rephrase that ...

3 years and my corals are starting to grow
Maybe I'm ready for some real ones now and I can get rid of these starters

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

You too can have clean sand
I replaced the top layer last week
The crud that came out was pretty amazing and I think I'll do it more often now that our Hector's is gone

Sand looks really clean. So you replaced the top layer? Was that to get rid of the cyan?

Just suckin' out the uglies ... algae, cyano, assorted mulm, excess spaghetti worms
Plus there was some crusty sand under a return due to a calcium dosing issue awhile back, and crab/shrimp molt bits, urchin spines, various birdsnest frags

Ya know, just a whole bunch of crap

Time for me to stop being so lazy and keep it cleaner

But thanks anyway
Maybe one day, after my few years, I'll have something as sexy as your tank(s)

Mostly. 99% under control. Gotta keep the wife away from the fish feedings

Incoming bad pics ... under blues
I should post some of the same pics under full lights as these are awful

I could use some money for hardware ...
Should I frag some stuff up ?
Don't know if anyone would like some or not.
I'll start a thread and see where it goes ....

Watermelon



Sunny Ds


My unhappy leptastrea. Was deep deep green 'till I cranked the lights up
Now I'm hoping it will recover ....
