    After a semi-crash, coral died, fish survived, and algae up the ying yang, I have started my 90 gallon over!

    With the help of a very talented fish tank master, Jeff, my tank is now back on track!

    All the algae is gone, the sand is clean and the future is looking bright! After 2 months of water changes, cleanings, etc. my tank is ready for coral again!

    Besides cleaning the tank, I have all new lights and a super powered clean up crew that includes two fighting conches - they are awesome!!

    I also added another MP40, so I've got two running in there now - awesome flow.

    My evil fish, Sin, was caught today and is going to live with someone else. Jeff also takes care of their tank and assured me Sin will have a happy life. :) So now I can add another fish! I think I know what it will be....but I'll make you all wait to find out!

    Alright! Finally have some pics!! Yes, I have an aiptasia problem. Measures are being taken! :)

    This is after a cleaning, so the water isn't super clear. But good enough! About half the rock has been removed and rearranged and there are only a few coral left and my super clam. I added a gorgeous rose BTA yesterday.

    Coral are coming next!!!!

    Thanks!! I wish I could take credit...;)

    The guy who has been working so hard on my tank did it! This is the third time he reworked the rock and we are both really happy with it now. It's beautiful! He wants to bring out a lot of coral in the next few weeks so he made lots of shelves.
