    Well, never thought I'd be this excited to see an algae bloom but I HAVE DIOTEMS or however the heck it's spelled

    Fuge now has 4 ulva, 15 red mangroves, 3 bundles of chaeto and some other macros that I cant remember the names of

    Also added some tiny tiny little cerith snails and some big honking turbos to the DT, as well as a small emerald crab and a few small blue leg hermits

    Man Iraf I don't know what the 4 ulva are but when I glanced at that I thought it said something medically naughty. I was thinking HUH, didn't know those were available in the hobby.

    Ok I'm done now.

    Tank seems to be coming along nicely. How about some pictures. I'll take some tonight as well and we'll let Luna sort them out.

    haha, ulva is a sea lettuce, I'm growing it out as food for my tangs once it gets a bit bigger it's going to be moved to the display tank as fresh food for them to graze on

    I'll get some pics done sometime right now it's nasty looking cause of the algae bloom

    Are you getting a brown or green algae bloom? I got both but the brown went away and I'm left with the green. Otty sold me his powder blue tang last Friday and with the Naso I already had they're getting it in check pretty quickly.
