Dan, I think you should be considered the SPS Pimp. LOL
You grew a 1 inch oregon into a 5"x5" (or possibly larger) colony in only a year.

If you want better growth and colors on your Chalices then your going to need to have a little bit dirtier waters. But then your sps aren't going to be so colorful and grow so fast.

When it comes to reefing:

Mark and Kenny = :bum: (Coral Pimps)

Dan = :jester: (Coral Clown)

Not me Ramzy, I'm just a noob fumbling my way through hoping not to kill anything. Whatcha got in your tank anyway?

Daniel, I hope not. I'm probably going to add an urchin next week or so to see if it will mow it down.

Thanks Ricky, I'm really happy with the tank and glad I paid the little extra for the Starfire.

Actually, I have a pretty good picture in my Photobucket. Forget the chalice and take a look at the frag rock that it is mounted on, is this what you have?

Anyone have any ideas how to eliminate it?

hermit crabs will do the job

Thanks ADMTyPeReEf-eR. I actually have a mix of about 50 hermits and it they want nothing to do with the algae or maybe they are keeping it as it is.

Hope everyone had a happy 4th. We got back from ‘Frisco early yesterday evening and had a good time. Thought that I would post some pictures of the Steinhart Aquarium’s 200,000 Philippine Reef exhibit. Enjoy…

A really nice place to visit and I highly recommend it. It was a little crowded though, perhaps because of the holiday.

Dude, talk about a serious bioload I think that's what you need in your tank, Dan
