    pics are rather small but from the looks of the bloom you can put a clean up crew in there.

    Just curious, what Nitrate test are you using. I use a Tetra test and my Nitrate stays in the 12.5 range. However, my test only shows range (12.5. 25, etc). I twould be nice to have a test like yours that gives an exact number.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    I still cant figure out how to enlarge them yet, I hosted them from photobucket and figured that would do it.

    I reposted the pictures right off my computer, might be better now I hope.

    I use the API Master Saltwater and API Master Reef kits, I'm not sure how accurate they are but I have taken a sample to my LFS on got the same readings from them.

    I'm starting to get very small white specks on my glass that appear to be moving around, could they be copod's?

    My small clean up crew is actively working on the hair algae and I mean small.
    I have 12 small blue legged hermits, 1 emerald crab, 6 nassarius snails and 6 margarita snails in the tank now. They are trying to do their job but the margarita snails are rather lazy, if they don't start doing their job I am going to have to fire them and get some other snails to take their place.
