    go right ahead, ive got about 9 or 10 different types of macro algae now and switched one of my t5's to a 6500k color bulb and the plant life and corals seem to be loving it, gives it a nicer white in my opinion. Before i added these new ones i had about 4 or 5 and have been having immaculate water, Im using a bag of carbon and purigen in the back but no skimmer at the moment or mech filtration and i am having 0 ammo, nitrites, and only have about .5 phosphate which i kinda like for the algae helps it grow and since its eating it im figuring its absorbing it out of the water a bit. nitrates are about 10 which i think is pretty good for no filtration. its been cool so far, the mandarin loves playing around in all the seaweed hunting for surprises, gonna start adding more pods but am liking he eats roe and cyclopeeze.

    Absolutely beautiful. I've seen them listed before and always wondered if they would work. I'm gonna check on Ebay for some different macros.

    Well if you live in the us. Coralline told me reef cleaners had some good ones. I live in Canada so I can't get live stuff shipped across. Also live aquaria has good stuff.

    Hi i love your fish tank, i am a newbie and want to ask you something though. I was looking at those compartible chart and it says lion fish and the shrimps will not be comparable with clown fish, so they are ok together? I love the lion fish and those shrimps
