My Reef Tank - Picture

[jaredloo]

Ok, I finally got around to taking a panorama view of my tank. This is 3 images put together so there might be some lines or duplicated fish.

The Stylo, Blue Acro, Yellow Acro, and Derasa are from the most recent GB.

Is the brown algea just a phase that it goes through?

Sweet looking tank! Sorry I missed seeing it...

The brown algae is a phase the tank goes through very early in its life time, say 2-5 months tops. After that, I would be concerned about a nutrient problem. The tank looks cool, I like the rocks too. How long have you had the orange linckia?

kirsten, SHARKBAITNC, 24gnanonewbie - thank you all for you compliments.

aztbs - thanks for your input on my question. That's what I thought. I remember going through some algea phases with my 29 for the first 6 months maybe longer. I just moved my 29gallon reef to this 90 gallon about 4 months ago. There was new rock and new sand that had to be cycled so even though a lot of the corals are older, the system itself is still pretty young. My parameters have been really good since setting up, so I wondered why I was getting algea even with undetectable nitrates and phosphates. I think it will grow out of it. I guess I'll just have to grin and bear it for now.

Orange Linckia came on the first GB about 2 weeks ago.

Looks great!

I love the frogspawns that I got from you. They grow so well. Thanks again.

If you'd like, do you have room for some hydnopora?

Thanks OceanLyons - Sure, I could out it in the middle ravine. I can pick up whenever. PM me what's good for you.
