Update: I had my beautiful baby boy on May 5 at 7:09pm after 8 hours of Labour and delivery. So as you can imagine ive been pretty busy
The day before yesterday we went on our first family trip to the town over to pick up a few things and to check out the lfs. They did have LR but only a bit left. I picked up the nicest piece they had. The LR is covered in green and red coraline, sponges, some red fuzzy fat tree looking thing (looks pretty cool), covered in pods and shrimp and I counted 3 worms. It does have some nuisance algae but it has started to go away in the short time its been in my tank. All other life is doing very well and hopping around on their rock and surrounding sand.
I also recieved some dragons tongue macro algae for free from the manager of the lfs. It was pale pink and it is now colouring up nicely. The edges are getting orangie dots that fluoress (sp?) under my lighting. Tried taking a pic but my camera doesnt get it.
I am now looking for more macro algaes so, keep an eye out for my begging in the classifides section
