    Here is some photographic evidence that the tank does exist.

    First pic is supposed to be a green BN but it looks blue in my tank. I think it's pretty amazing.

    Second Pic is a common hairy mushroom. This thing has gotten insanely large over the past few days. I do think it likes the tank.

    Third Pic is xenia. It is already starting to multiply. I'm thinking about putting some in my sump to soak up some nutrients and catch some of the nastiness. What do you think?

    Fourth Pic is my Diatom Farm.....3 days ago, this tank was Diatom free...Seriously, it has just exploded.

    Current numbers are:
    Ammonia - 0
    Nitrite - 0
    Nitrate - 5 or less
    PH - 8.2
    SG is 1.026
    Temp is Currently at 78

    I have a small cuc in there now...about 80 pieces. They seem to be making a dent. I think the coral really like the diatoms....I'm not sweating it. I'm stoked about how the coral look right now. This birdsnest has me frazzled. It was green when I first put it in the tank and now it's turning a blue hue with less PE.
