Okay. Here are the tanks now.

The main tanks phosphate is finally stabilizing. i didn't have to clean the glass today, i believe ive got my feeding down even better now. i have been shutting off the return pump for a few hours whenever i feed. corals all have a chance to grab whatever they want, fish have a hayday and with the reduced flow the food has a better chance of falling onto corals like my acans & Duncan, although im going to keep spot feeding them twice a week because the acan looks a lot better when i do. i also gathered all my extra rock together and put it in a blue tub to cook. gotta use the space for something since my sump decided to spring a leak. im pretty sure i can make my other rock scape in lieu of the one that crumbled in my hands as i was putting it in.. im just not happy with what i have, placements aint right for the flow and lighting...

^^micro frag from my buddies montipora, this is what grew onto my rock in less then 2 months when it was in my tank, now that its in a permanent location it should start growing again hopefully soon. I have another micro frag about 4in away from this, both have wonderful velvet red color and the polyps are not out that much.



here is the 10g. 80% of the stuff is closed/recovering from a peroxide dip in a battle against phosphates released from the new sandbed and a zoa pox battle. I dipped just the zoa's last week, or 2 weeks ago and it greatly helped. the bad part is im losing all coralline, my bristle worms, feather dusters, and hopefully vermitid snails and spiroribid worms. I found a large bristle worm earlier today when I switched the rocks I took out last week to a new bucket (yes a bristle worm lived 6 days in a sealed bucket with damp rock and 1/8th in of water, so bewarned) he was still alive so I threw him in the 10g, he will repopulate my bristle worms

VVVthis is a before cleaning. algae, algae everywhere. hair algae and strand of bryopsis algae. I do hope I didn't eradicate either strand of algae as I just don't believe its hard to fight off when you have control of phosphates, I have already controlled one outbreak in the main tank with doing nothing but detritus control.
