the tank looks awesome when its overgrown like that. you should try and scape using the macro to create a zen garden or some kind of picture with tit.

Thank you.

I use seachem for pretty well everything because its cheaper and I used Kent Iron again because it was cheap lol.

Yes I want to scape it which is harder to do with faster growing macros. As you can see it needs a major trim which I plan to do very soon.
Currently Im leading Drama Camp for a group of 17 kids. We are having a preformance at the end so I am swamped for the next 2 weeks. But im hoping that this weekend I will have my trim day.

Im noticing a lot of hitchhiker macros that are growing now. I like em.

Took a few more shots today while my son was having a nap.

havent seen this tank in awhile...looks like all the macro filled in nicely, great job!

And to think this would be a nightmare in any other situation! That looks pretty cool. I'm sure since you've decided you want algae, it by default becomes harder to keep alive lol.

the "au natural" look, looks great.....although I do like the neatly trimmed look

Thanks all. Macro algae is really easy to keep if thats what your 'main' interest is. If its both corals and macro its a bit more difficult but it can be done. I have a few corals in my system and I want to add more, mainly mushrooms because they do so well. But im more slack about corals now and more in tune with the macro.

I typically like things trimmed espically when there are viewings but when no one is looking I let it all go au natural. ;P For your eyes only.

So, Im strongly considering picking up 6 sexy shrimp and a candy pistol shrimp for the tank. What do people here think.
Currently there are 2 clowns and a peppermint shrimp as well as 2 hermit crabs in there.
Any Input ?

I would worry about never seeing them......being that there havnt been any recent viewings and things are a little on the wild side atm

......that being said I do love my "Sexy Shrimp"

Macro is going NUTS! gonna send out a few packages now and hope that helps. I may have more up for sale soon too. Im going to be very generous to those that did order

Anyway I put my order in for 7 yes 7 sexy shrimp.

I cant wait. I do already have a peppermint shrimp who is in LOVE with the macro in my tank. I see him out all the time in my red halymenia. Camouflage I guess. Pretty cool stuff.
