I can't believe you don't recognize the tank. You are the one who helped me install this tank after all. It is definitely my tank. You'll have to B & E into my house to get to it.

OH CRAP!!! I had to take a closer look at the pic and that does look like the frag tank we replaced but still no 100% convinced, take a pic from as far back as you can to show more and I will be a believer.

My flow was definitely impeded probably triggering the cyano. Out of the dozen colonies that I sold off, most of them barely fit into a 5 gallon pail. It was hard for me to sell them off and bring them to the lfs, but it was needed for my tank to have a future. Up until a couple of months ago, there were a few colonies that were about an 1" or 2" away from the surface of the water. I have since lowered them and rearranged so that they have room to grow. The corals are continuing to colour up again now that they can see the light and for some reasons my monti's are growing like mad compared to the other corals. Here's a FTS from 5 mins ago, you can see that ugly cyano, but it was way worse before. I've also had to sell of 3 clams as they were touching the glass and corals were growing into them.

Warning - CRAPPY CELL PHONE PICS

Office side (That Green Stag on the left was at the water surface 2 weeks ago, I got rid of some coral to make room and lower/trimmed it a bit)

Is that a Majestic Angel I see in there, I would like to get one but I'm worried that he might nip at corals, do you have any problems

Yes it's a Majestic. When I first got it a couple of years ago I put him in my frag tank for 2 weeks to see if he nipped. Then I put a clam in my frag tank with him. After being satisfied with his behaviour, he went up into my display tank. No problems ever. But you have to know that they are hit and miss.

It is my 4' frag tank. I have another 5' frag tank where it's all decked out in egg-crate racking. Although, Greg still doesn't believe me, it's true

Thanks for the feedback, I think that I might take the chance and get a small one, might be better than starting with a larger one

Well, I came home from work a couple of days ago and while still in my coveralls, went to clean the glass with my custom made 1/4" magnet. I was going rather fast and all of the sudden I nick my frost polyps acro and BOOM, everything on that side of the tank came a tumbling. Argh, 2 hours later I managed to fit everything back in with many accidental frags. I found out that the culprit of my rock slide was a little piece of cement chipped off of my custom made closed loop intake rock - Dang. I like the look of the tank a bit better now, or maybe I just like change.

Anyway, here it is. Office Side - crappy phone pic (Sorry :reface:

As you can see, there's still a bit of cyano, but it is getting less and less daily.
