There is life after GPW...

[scbadiver]

DiveDog was kind enough to come by and take a few pictures of my tank last weekend so I thought I'd share on this snowy day. The tank is getting better and the GPW is really subsiding too. It's almost gone from the tank but still growing in the fuge. Anyway, here it is for now.

that last picture is interesting


someday you'll miss the GPW (which btw is gone in my tank, but I think that's because hair algae has taken over

Robbie,
Your tank looks great as usual! The Xenias I got from you are doing great and I will have to be giving some away soon. I have an huge ball of Cheato if you need any more for your fuge.

Thanks Bruce. Glad to hear your Xenias are making it. I think that chaeto I have is going to be enough. That was a little clump Tom gave me that fit in my pocket when I brought it home about a month ago. It's growing great and chock full of pods and mysis shrimp and a few tube worms too. Thanks for the offer but I'll probably hold off another few weeks and see what happens.

Latazyo, I assure you I will NEVER miss GPW!!!

Robbie, the tank is looking very nice!! I like the Cap isolated over there in the corner.

 

[Reeferhead]

Look'n really good Robbie :thumbsup:

 

[scbadiver]

Thanks Nook and Nick! Thats the peice of Cap I got from DST. When I saw it I had to have it. I just hope I can keep it growing. We'll see.

 

[Divedog]

Lookin good... You can do it man. Oh, yea you did do it.

...... I see you are working real hard today also.

 

[Reefer Wannabe]

The mysis didn't come from my chaeto did it???

The tank is looking great.

 

[scbadiver]

I don't think they did. I had a huge mess of them going in my system before. They were everywhere but the addition of a target mandrin and a flame and coral beauty angels put the display tank population in check. Now they are just everywhere in the sump and fuge. If you want some, give me a few weeks and I'll probably be able to pull a chunk off to give back to you.

Tank is looking good! If that GPW belongs anywhere in your system, it's in the fuge.

Green Penis Weed

I'll leave it to Robbie to post the "before" picture... scary stuff:eek2:

 

[crzy_pig]

ok I have about 8-10 varieties of macro algai (sp?) but was not sure was SPW was (still not) I guess I need to wait for the Visual

You bet trott. It would be great to see you again. I've been working a lot but I'm back on a regular schedule after this weekend so just tell me when! Your tank is growing great too looking at the pictures.

Crzy-pig, here you go. this was it a little over a year ago:

 

[kraash]

I did not know that stuff would grow like that!! The tank looks good, I really like the way the orange cap is growing like a flower

 

[SaltwaterChris]
