Nice how old is the tank? Love to clown pics

Looks good, with some small frags ready to grow out. Watch out for the yellow polyps, they grow like weeds. I would keep them away from nearby rocks if you don't want them to spread too far.

Do you have any full tank shots?

Its about 2 years old, but for about 1 1/2 years it was only FOWLR, but I finally started buying coral about 6 months back,

 

[Jamie4]

Yes I do but it was taken by my sell phone and it is horrrible quality. But w/e...

Get some snails and crabs to help with the algae. Other than that looks nice. I think I hear the tang police.

 

[Jamie4]

Haha yeah I know the Algea has gone down quite a bit since that photo, and the Tang is moving out of this tank to my friends 225 with in a week.

*bump*

 

[evilsike]

alot of potential. do you dose 2 part additive?

 

[Jamie4]

I add Iodine, Calcium, and Ph buffer 2 a week... I hope thats what your talking about.

 

[evilsike]

I had luck with b-ionic 2 part and grew a lot coralline algea. I don't know if you're into that. we have about the same things in our tank, emerald, GSP, yellow polyps and yellow tang (in trouble with tang police here )

 

[Jamie4]

Thanks for the info yeah I love Coraline I'll have to look into that and get me some.

Looks good!

Test for Magnesium as well. It's easier to maintain proper Ca/alk levels when your Mg levels are up. Also promotes coralline growth. What kind of light do you have on the tank....your anemone looks a bit bleached out. If he'll accept it, feed him some mysis.

 

[Jamie4]

I have 4x96 T5's.

I would also recommend feed your anemone...use a turkey baster....start slowly and chop it into small pieces, you should also soak the food in "Selcon"...it should color up in a few weeks.

nice setup. I would move the GSP up the rockwork so it gets more light - they color up "deep" green under strong lighting and medium to high flow.

Don't worry, when the Tang Police shows up.. just tell them "how about you mind your own tank"...

 

[Jamie4]

Hey thanks, I have a question... I've heard many things on target feeding my 2 anenome's. I have 1 Green Bubble Tip. And a bubble tip who hides in the back, for reasons un known. What/how should I feed my anenome's. And it's normal for anenome to shrivel up on a daily basis, right?

Ok dumb question time. Whats wrong with a tang in a 55g?

 

[Jamie4]

Eventually he can grow to 9 inches, which will give him really no swimming room.
