good and bad
 

So the good is that my tank seems to be turning around from the last 5 months of tissue loss. Here is a pic of the tank at the beginning of the upswing. Hopefully some better shots are down the road.

The bad is this dark fuzzy algae I have growing on my rocks. Anyone know what might eat this? I don't currently have any hermits and few snails.

awesome tank brad!
i've had those fuzzy brown algea before my red legged crabs ate them all
but my blue ones barely touched them :rolleyes:
whats the size of your tank?

Jesse, it's a 155g. I have 2 scaret hermits, think that's enough? :razz:

Did you have scarlets or some other red legged?

that pic looks a little washed out.. you have more color than that.. unless it changed in the last week :eek:

I have had some of that junk disappear Brad but but not much so I haven't a clue why.


Steve

Still looks pretty good Brad. Good to hear it's making a steady recovery. Your tank has got to be one of my favorites that i've seen.

Did you do that huge water change?

Has the Mak 4 improved skimming at all?

Not sure about that algae. Wish there was an easy answer eh!

Jack, thanks! You've been a loyal fan :razz:

I did a 75g water change the other day, and that didn't do anything bad, so that's good, right?
The MAK 4 has improved skimming a bit, but the sooner I get the new skimmer going, the better.
I treated for those nasty bugs, so once I'm sure I don't have to re-treat, I'll add a herd of hermits to see if that deals with this algae.
I'm starting to see some growth over the previously sloughed areas, so overall, things are looking up. Unfortunately I lost a few large colonies that I can't easily replace! And my pink milli is now alarge 3" frag :rolleyes:

Yes, it's a bit washed out, but remember, I only got the $700 camera! :razz:

so i suppose you want to move the delivery date up to be for Christmas now :rolleyes: :mrgreen:

Steve

I dunno brad. Whats the problem? Tank looks good.

Hehehe.

that brown algae is crappy, keeps coming back in one of my tanks. I only have a half dozen blue legs in that tank tho. maybe I should add some scarlets?

Heck, I've never even seen Brad's tank and I'm trying to remember what it looks like... never mind the camera, what about the $700 software??

More like this, Steve? :wink: ooohhhh.... (sorry Brad, couldn't help it).
