Very nice. I really like the look that the macroalgaes provide to the tank. I wish I could keep macros like that in my tank, but the tangs eat them immediately.

Yeah I can't keep tangs in this tank really.


Does anyone have any suggestions for other macros or maybe corals? I was thinking about a few gorgonians but I have never had them before and don't know too much about them. How difficult are they to keep? I also worry my puffers may like to eat them although they don't eat anything so far.

Any suggestions are welcome!

Checking out a crab...which he does not bother eating. I think he is way too lazy!






Begging for food!

Well a bit of an update...I had a carbon mishap last week and what a mess it was! The carbon in the carbon chamber of my ozone reactor leaked and within a few hours everything in the tank was very black Not a lot of carbon escaped the sump but it did create a black film over everything in the display.

I was pretty heartbroken to have to take all my aquascaping apart and clean every rock, coral and even fish! Anyways after 10 hours of work, everything was clean, happy and back in the tank...except me. I hated the new aquascape but it has grown on me. Here's the pics...Let me know what you all think! Better? Worse? Same???

Really need some more corals to fill it in a bit (not too much though, I am not a fan of the crammed look)

I have had a lot of responses to my looking for softies ad in the selling forum and it looks like by this weekend I will have a few more corals! Im really wanting to add some more colt corals to the right side to tie it all together. I want Colts to be the main focus of the tank. Lower in the tank I would like to add a bunch of mushrooms and maybe rics. We will see! Any suggestions are very welcome.
