    65 Gallon Bow Front Tank. 175 watt 14K metal Halide light with one 65 watt power compact (atcinic) and one blue led (Moon Light). Wet dry filtration with a refume. Refume was made after I located a mantis shrimp in my live rock. Now he has his own place where he can cause less destruction.

    Looks like halimeda to me. That can be quite a calcium suck if memory serves. (edit: but is nice looking all the same)

    Thanks. Yeah that one does suck up the calcium but as you can see from all the coralline algae I have plenty. Plus I add some from time to time. The other algae is called callupra excuse the spelling. It came on my live rock when and has sprung to life. The callupra needs to be trimmed every couple of days to keep it down.
