    Love Dragon eyes. One of my favorites. Rock work looks great and your macro adds just enough flair.;D

    My computer crashed and I just got a new one. So I haven't been able to update. I have been taking some pics so I will sort through them and post the good ones.

    The tank is doing well. Macro Algae growth has really taken off. I added three Emerald Crabs to try and help combat it. I've also been removing allot manually.

    Aiptasia have been spreading. I keep nuking them though.

    Here is a recent FTS:

    My sailfin tang would LOVE that pink/red macro algae! I had a branch of it and as soon as I put him in the tank the first day, he devoured that thing within two hours!
    Sorry to mention, but is that cyano?

    The red bushy Macro is pretty invasive. The Emerald Crabs pick at it a little, but they don't have much impact on it.

    Yeah that's Cyano. There are a few spots of it that come and go.

    Yeah, I had a little cyano creep as well. It's been a month since I started to run BioPellets, it seems to be under control.

    The tank looks great! Your right, that macro is really taken off. I'm actually having the same problem with the cyano right now, for whatever reason.. I've just been hoping it'll pass naturally. We'll see.

    Thank you very much for the compliments.

    Unfortunately the tank crashed during a recent power outage. A snow storm hit here causing the power to go out for 4 days.
