looks like the cycle is done or at least nearly done. saw a big spike a few days ago and everything has returned down to proper levels...just in time for the boxing day sale at Red Coral! (Maybe there is a reef-god!)

So, I'll be adding the clean up crew this weekend:
(Depending on availabilty)
Astrea - 15
Trochus - 20
Cerith - 20
Nassarius - 15

I've had an over all crappy experience with crabs, so I don't want to have to add any, unless *knock on wood* they are needed for nussiance algae (bubble specifically...grrrr)

so I'm not overly impressed with the blue given off by the pcs. it's a nice light blue, but not as intense as I'd like. So when I'm no long reeling in boxngday madness I'll be buying a 48" hagen T5 HO unit and adding in a KZ fiji purple and a Geisman (sp?) True Actinic for that nice little bit of Whooopa!

Showing Surface aggitation:


Open Brain after a couple hours in the tank:


Fox coral. I'm going to give it a week or so to see if it'll expand more (like the ones I've seen here)...if it doesn't it looks like I'll have to move it around a bit!

moved the fox coral yesterday to an area with a little less flow...show's almost instant results, but still not as poofy as I'd like it...oh well, I'll give it time

Thanks Doug.

Do you guys build custom tanks as well? We've decided to put a tank in the bedroom *dun dun dun* don't want too large, but will need it to be as quiet as possible...
