Well, Myka pointed out that I had not done any updates on here in waaay too long. So here are few new pics.

Full tank shot...as you can see, we've got Coraline growth and some pest algae too.


Here's my little clown Goby...still doesn't trust me when I get close to the tank.

You can see the pest algae just below his nose and just above him to the left. Not sure what it is yet. Anyone willing to identify?

Here's an Acro I got from Red Coral in Calgary...pretty new so it hasn't colored up yet.


Lastly, here's a little movie of my Goby/shrimp pair hard at work moving sand. It's really cool having these guys.

Looking good, I love the silly little face of clown gobies!

I'm no expert, but that looks like the start of bubble algae!

Awesome!!! Not sure on that "pest algae"...looks kinda bubbly or fluffy or something? Excellent coralline growth coming in though!

It's fluffy...and comes off easy enough, just grab it with tweezers and the whole clump comes away. Problem is that it grows back in a few days.

Coraline is coming on nicely. Just put in some Zoa frags this week so those pieces are a little whiter than the rest.

Weird algae. Are there many clumps? What if you chip the rock out where it is attached? PITA I know, but it might work.

I love the Goby/shrimp pair.

I thought it was going to be an SPS tank? Are you planning to remove the Zoas?

I think I have some of that stuff too.

I might be investing in a sea hare soon. If it does it's job maybe you and others in the Okanagan would like a time share?
