    Ty, I have the next 4 days off of work, but they will be a very busy 4 days lol. The tank needs a lot of TLC and I have to clean all of my military gear from the field lol. I also have a meeting at my sons school tomorrow morning and a bone scan most of the day on Monday. Life never seems to slow down lol.

    My mushrooms are really doing great. I have new shrooms everywhere lol, even on the sand bed. Those ones are still kind of small. Other then the current algae problem, the tank has done great from what I can tell. Now time for some TLC sometime this weekend lol.

    May I suggest adding an emerald crab and one or two trochus snails and maybe 3-4 astrea snails? I can't grow nuisance algae anymore even if I tried.

    Looks great and welcome back! My GSP are basically all dead except for maybe 2 or 3 polyps. Also the shrooms looks amazing, my shroom is always unhappy and shriveled so I put him in the refugium w/ less flow. Are you adding any supplements that are making your mushrooms and GSP grow this crazy? Looks amazing!
