Wow makana! That tank is looking very clean! I think you are a prime example of someone that knows what the term 'patience' means! Shouldnt be too long till you have that tank running full blown with everything transfered over from the smaller nano! Oh yah and that aquascape is a gooder. Shouldnt be to long before the zip straps are covered by algea. Algea just loves plastic for some reason!

Thanks! It was not easy looking at a tank of rock for that long. What finally stunted the algea growth was I turned the light off for two days. I actually did it to adjust the temperature and two days later the diatoms and hair algea seemed to stop spreading and there were coraline spots on the glass.

Thanks! I really like the sun coral. It is impressive when it is all opened up. I have had some problems with algea growing on it though and damaging its skin. I don't really know how to deal with that, but it hasn't stopped the coral from forming new mouths.

How do you deal with the cleaner shrimp when feeding your sun coral? I almost had to beat mine off with a stick while I tried feeding my sun. Got to the point that I said the hell with it and sold it (the coral not the shrimps).

lol, yah. I usually give the cleaner shrimp a large piece of flake food to keep it busy while I feed the sun coral. Otherwise it will climb on it and pick all the food off. It's funny because the cleaner seems to know that its not allowed on the sun coral. When my hand is no longer in the tank the cleaner will sneak over towards the sun coral, but if I point then it will go back to its spot.
