Thought I would share. Setup is simple, tank, stand, 150w metal halide, and an mp10.

Got some updates on the tank, ill have to go take some pictures soon! Added 3 very small chromis, some more algaes, and a featherduster. I plan on aadding some photosynthetic gorgonians once my lfs can get some in
 
Very nice. i would imagine you could collect some nice macros to add to that tank as you are not far from the coast....

Yeah I run across a few macros here and there! Found some really tthin graciliara type macro while fishing last week, threw it in my tank, waiting for it to grow out now. But here's the updated pictures!
You can see all the fishies here!

New addition! After 5 weeks of qt, I've decided to drop the ball and add my flame angel! I already had a flameback, but they're doing great! There was a little fighting for the first two days, but now they cross paths like they're not even together!

I think part of the reason Im having success with them is because how well fed I keep then! I feed a variety of food ls every morning and evening (red or green algae sheets, squid, clam, brine, bloodworms, mysis, and rods coral food) I also feed the occassional live black worms or live brine as a treat. In-between feedings they have a tank CRAWLING with pods and full of an assortment of algaes to feed upon.
 
I meant to tell everyone thankyou for the compliments! I love this tank, its my passion, and its SO easy to care for. I added a HOB filter about a week ago with a small bag of carbon and some filter pad for mechanical filtration! I bought a bta who is currently hiding put, my first anemone ever and it seems to be doing great. Also, I've done one 5 gallon water change since setup and I topoff. thats aall the maintenance I have! I love my new tank!!! Oh and my flame angel has aa hankering for my flame algae ironically enough!
 
Thankyou forrest! I'm trading out some of my macros for some pulsing Xenia tonight! Ill get a shot of them when they get settled. Ill also get a shot of my anemone when it's more visible. I also picked up a coral banded shrimp ill try to snap a picture of
 
beautiful! I have a very macro predominate tank. I have sargassum, chaeto, calurpa of two kinds, halimeda, mermaids fan and shaving brushes. I'm hoping to get some red algaes like ogo or titan algae as well as some ulva lettuce algae.

I think a few mermaid fans and halimeda bushes would look great in your tank!

i had a few brushes but my angels ate them up like candy! Ill have to try the mermaid fans. I'm also looking for some ulva. Do you have a thread for your tank?











Would you be willing to sell or trade any of your macro? Very nice setup!

I've recently been fragging off the algaes and selling/trading them locally! I might have some more available in the future, though
