Magik's 75 gal upgrade!

[magikof7]

Well...I'm back.
My tank has been so neglected I'm pretty much starting over again. (Separation ain't for the weak!)
I filled a 5 gal bucket almost 5 inches with bubble algea. I have had a lot of losses but luckily my mandarins are doing great and my one clam huge!
I have added a new clean up crew and a Sailfin tang to help me out with the bubble algea..he is a machine!
Yes! I know he will outgrow my tank I am prepared for that.

After...

Thanks Kien!

I spent about 5 hours on it last week. It was my pennance for such neglect! a lot of it I could just scoop out with a net it wasn't even attached to the rocks. There is still a lot left to pluck off the rocks but that Angel is really making a difference. It will be awhile before I do anything with the tank other than recovery.

I might start a "nano" tank for my room until My main is fully functioning again. otherwise I wont be able to stay patient lol.

Well I took some crappy phone pics...I really need to get my camera back from my photographer friend...lol

The Bubble Algae is almost completely gone. I have added a few more critters. a Couple Wrasse, 3 Porceline crabs. a White tipped torch a duncan and a Purple Condy.
I need to pick up glue so I can mount my torch and Duncan.

I have also Ordered a Cube tank to set up but that is another thread.

the pics are terrible Im hoping by next week I will have good ones that actually show the colors better. my Blade is bleached but it seems to be coming back. and my green bubble tips are as well.
