Wayne's 'Rainforest of the Sea'

the wrasse could be burried in the sand, they tend to do that!

A little update. I got back from Mexico not long ago to find that both my Rhomboids and my male anthias had passed, for whatever reason. That hurts a little but what can you do, part of the hobby I guess. The deaths I am assuming are the reason for the GHA and turf algae I came home to, although nitrate and phos tests read negligible amounts I am thinking this is due to NO3 and PO4 being consumed (by the algae) faster than the tests can detect.

I have cut the photoperiod by an hour, been performing lighter feedings, bought a sea hare and ordered algefix marine. The sea hare has done absoluetly nothing so I think i bought a dud haha, I barely see him!
I am planning to pick up a small army of turbo snails to see if they will help at all as my current clean up crew is quite small.

Other than all that, I am fairly happy with where the tank is at right now and have begun to build the stand skin finally.

Here are a few top down shots, FTS and an algae pic.

Thats a beautiful shot of your tank. I really like the proportion of rockwork to empty space. :thumbsup:

Amazing tank... have you skinned that stand yet? If not tighten up I want to see how you do it!!

Nice update! stuff look great.

Sucks when fish disappear. Hate when they do that.

Thank you. Less rock, more room for corals to grow!

Im in the slow process of it. Oak 3/4"x 3" frame, dowels and wood glue!
