My poor caulerpa infested tank...

Man, I didn't realize how bad of shape my tank was. Not cleaning the glass or pullin' the caulerpa, left me with this...

without flash...

Pretty much the half of the tank was a big ball or caulerpa.

Finally got most removed and the front glass cleaned and a 5 gal. water change.

It just about looks like a fish aquarium again. I gotta keep up with regular maintenance from now on. The worst part was gettin bit by the clowns everytime I got near the hairy mushrooms.

I'd say that's a pretty mature/healthy tank from the pictures. Looking good.

I have had this tank runnin' since Mar. 05. Got the largest clown first after the tank cycled. Then a firefish. Then in 06, I thought my clown needed a mate. So I got another clown. Once they paired up, they killed the firefish.

It all went sour when I bought a frag from a club member that had the razor caulerpa on it. I was still new and didn't know what the stuff was. I thought it looked cool as it was spreadin'. Then I found out, but it was too late.

I wouldn't put that stuff off on my worst enemy....haha.
