do tell more i dont get it?

I didn't "stop Zeo" per se because I'm not running a Zeo system. I was just using some of the additives to try to feed the corals while I had poor coloration and have since stopped using amino acids, Pohl's Coral Vitalizer, and Pohl's Xtra. I stopped these because I was hoping that the addition of the fish, additional fish feeding, addition of sand and removal of the filter sock would make more food available to the corals. And thus far I'm seeing pretty dramatic results.

This is the only side I can take a pic of. The tank is shoved into the corner and I can't get far enough away from it on the other side to even take a pic.

And if anyone is reading this and uses a Canon G10 please feel free to share some settings and photo taking hints because I still can't take very good pics.

Thanks!

Don't forget about the sand - I assume it's helping trap some detritus to drive up the organics in the tank.

Also, I feel like I have a lot of fish in a 50g tank:

6 Green Chromis
Yellow Tang
Chalk Basslet
Sixline Wrasse
Saddleback Clown

Does this seem like a lot of fish to you guys?

[christyf5]

It does "seem" like a lot but only because of the numbers. They're all fairly small fish (except for the tang) and if you find that your tank can't handle it I'm sure you could remove a few.

Have you tried using the white balance on the camera? That might help. I find any blue lighting really wreaks havoc on the usual settings (which is why my regal tang is always purple in photos).

I don't think it is a lot of fish but I note you have a tang in a two foot tank.
Your tank is too small for tangs.
Canadian, I think you know that tangs require swimming room. If you watch them they scoot from one end of the tank to the other unlike many fish that kinda just hang around.
That is why large tanks (6 foot) tanks provide the optimum size for keeping tangs. They can do what they do best, swimming.
