No...no, it wasn't a personal request or anything. There is just a thread in there where they were asking for "full room" shots, so I thought I would contribute.

That conversation about "unicorn chromis" got me thinking that I needed an updated photo of my Unicorn. He is an extremely difficult fish to photograph. Are you getting a horn, Lancelot?...

It is difficult to tank any picture of the tank without this guy parking himself in front of you. So I agreed to take his picture, just so he would leave me alone for a while. At 10"+, Freckles is just beginning to show signs of his adult colouration. His face is getting a bit lighter and his tail has started to show signs of streamers.

I'm curious how much mysis these guys go through in a week?

Tank's looking great Brad. It's nice to see such a mixture of gorgonians and SPS too. Not very often you see tanks with both doing well.

Ha..ha...they do get mysis every now and again but it is just for fun.

The vlamingi can eat a 4" x 4" piece of nori in one piece.

Freckles looks great.

If I remember correctly, Lancelot was quite shy compared to your other fish. When I was over anyways...he seemed to follow the others but stay in the back.

Nice pics as always!

Yesterday, I gave the tank a day of darkness. The cyano was just getting too much, so I decided to give this a try. I had tried it once before, but I chickened out last time and allowed 1 halide to be on while the lights were raised up.

This time, I didn't let any lights come on at all for about 40 hours. During this time, I fed the fish as normal.

What a dramatic difference! The cyano is 100% gone. Now...it remains to be seen if it will come back or not. If nothing else, I have learned how to make the tank look really good for when we have our next BBQ or frag swap, anyway.

I see that you have the dreaded red turf algae on your rocks. Have you figured out why you have it i had it on my rocks when i had my 120 gal and it was really bad.
