    My tank has been running since May with a few bumps along the way. We had a sump with Bio Balls and had issues with Cyano and now green algae. We switched to a filter sock with a skimmer and the tank is finally turning around. A great sign the other day was a filter sock with about a dozen copepods in it, all rescued and placed back in tank. My son really wants a Dragonet and it looks like we can get one soon now. Heres a few pics of the tank. Ya I know algae still there but going away. :-[

    Looks like a nice tank. To bad you can't put a tang in there lol. Your algae problem would be gone in no time.
