Well, it's been a looooong time since I've posted anything about my tank. Mostly because it's been one disaster after another.

First it was flatworms (for the third time) I got through that only to have bryopsis show up and cover the whole tank. I boosted my mag and like magic it went away...great, right?

Well, then I saw a little patch of macro algae...a type I have never had. Well, that patch has now overrun my entire tank. I am at my wits end, I'm seriously considering tearing it all down. I "think" that I am going to try and get rid of this macro first...but it's not looking promising.

So I'm looking for some help...I need an ID on the macro and I would like some recommendations for fish that may eat it (I currently have a Hippo Tang, Powder Brown Tang a pair of Swallowtail Angels, Blue Throat Trigger, Scooter Blenny and a Green Coris Wrasse) or an alternative way of getting rid of it. (I'm not totally against housing the corals somewhere else if need be).


WOW that is one beautiful tank you have

Congrats

Here are some very embarrassing pictures of the tank.

Here is the tank about a year ago.

Well I guess it's time to figure out how the hell this is all going to happen. I am honestly dreading it right now...I think vacation made me lazy.

I'm not even sure where to begin with the planning of the transfer...This just may stay on hold for awhile...The more I think about it, the more I'm leaning towards doing it after MACNA.

Well nothing good happens quickly in reefing, but whenever you are ready, I'm ready! ;)

But if you do it before MACNA you will have a place to put all the cool stuff you will pick up for cheap during teardown!!!!

I was just kidding! I didn't expect anyone to say yes with only 2 days notice! lol

There is no way I could do it all in one day, and I have plans Saturday so that's pretty much out to get anything done...one of these months...lol
