nice! Does that pink millepora have a "name"? It's stunning!

Not that I know of. The blue is just starting to come back on it.
 
So I took some pics last night. The tank still looks like crap. I have had tanks for over 8 years and never had an algae problem until now; except the bubble algae when I gave my Vlamingi Tang to Sanjay for the Pen State tank. Anyway, this algae is stringy, brown and filamentous, which makes manual removal impossible. I am blowing it off the rocks each night and running filter socks to get as much out as possible. Enough about that nightmare, here's the pictures:

As you can see the water is not very clear. I need to hook the O3 unit that is sitting on the shelf.

Looking good. A little MB7/Vodka will clear that water up! ;) :D

I wish I could to get into dosing stuff. I just dont have time to mess with my tank every day and dont have the $$ to buy a top notch controler and dosers.

I will get this sorted out and have this tank looking good by Christmas.
 
dinoflagellates, pretty nasty buggers when you go over their biology. They are often the cause of tissue death in fish/corals because of their cystic phase in which they float and then burrow into the skin of a "host"
