    haha, i got ya. Yea I didnt really want to give him up so I was trying to see if I could keep him until I can go for the big tank. If that doesnt happen soon, I will rehome him.

    Anyway, its amazing, it took about 5 and a half months for my tank to fully stabalize. Was battling algae and cyano and corals opening a closing. Then one day a couple weeks ago, everything just stabalized and brightened a bit and no algae or cyano.
    Amazing. Set up the gfo and ato as well to try and keep it that way.

    Oh yes. Gotta love that day when the algae disappears. Generally I will wait til them to add corals as its a little easier on them but great work! Now you are prepared incase of future outbreaks.

    The ATO will do wonders for acros lemme tell ya. I couldn't keep a one and that was the only thing I did t have when I attempted a stag horn.

    Now I have one on my sump. I may try again.

    Busy on a 125 rebuild though. Acro will wait :)
