    Well, it was basically completely gone. But last week I had a small outbreak.

    Hmmm I wonder why they came back..? Did you add any new equipment?

    Oh I got a small leather too :p

    No I didnt do anything except finally get a magfloat to clean the glass and I've been leaving it in the tank......maybe that caused it???

    Congrats on the leather. I saw it on your tank thread the other day. Ive been seeing some decent sized finger leathers at the LFS that I've been wanting to pick up.

    No the mesh MagFloat shouldnt be big of an impact.. ??
    Yeah, the leather took a while to open up the polyps, and happier than he was at LFS :)

    Well heres a decent pic I just took of the tank. I've got nice live rock growth on the right side, but practically none on the left side. I have no idea why theres not much growth on the left side of the tank. Could this be a flow issue? I had an 800GPH pump pointed at the left side of the rock formation, but just moved it yesterday. Anyways, heres a pic of the tank as it is right now. My new red mushroom opens up about twice as big as it did at the LFS.

    Looks good dude. Ya probably the flow Im the right side isn't as good. I know I have a few spots that don't get hit with flow to good and I have to turkey baster them every once in a while.
    Good news for you is your rocks aren't bleach white anymore. I remember I hated that.

    Yeah I know, the rocks look a lot better as they color up. I'm going to order my rapid led kit this weekend. I cant wait to get this baby under LEDS ;D

    Hell ya dude! I'm sure it'll look sweet.
    I love mine but the only complaint is I can't adjust the color, but it looks like you will be able to lol

    Do you wish it was less blue? I'm looking for more blue than my current t5 setup.
