 | Re: Are you happy with your aquarium?
I am happy with mine. My corals are growing, fish are growing, anemone is going to overrun the tank soon(Got him at 3 inch diameter, it is now roughly a dinner plate). I would love to upgrade my tank size, but sadly, I have no room for an upgrade.

| Re: Are you happy with your aquarium?
No, not yet. I am dissapointed with the fact that I have some coralline growth on my glass. I think I have good growth on my rocks and even after going to ro/di water i still have some algae outbreaks. Sometimes a coral will die and I have no clue as to why... Rare but it happens.  I know it takes time and patience. I keep waiting and trying new things without getting too radical. I know I am rambling but you asked and I"m telling lol

I would have to say for the most part....i mainly have mushrooms and pollops
i have tried other corals in the beginning with no luck....i still have green hair alge over most of my LR . i have done everything my LFS has suggested....with great expense(i think thats what they want) but i have found a new fish and coral store...AND A GREAT WEB SITE i think with all the experience here i should have few problems getting my tank to what i would like.Thank you to all who belong to this site....the forums are great

| Re: Are you happy with your aquarium?
No...right now I am having some problems with that red and brown stringy algae. Its that course type. Seems to be spreading. I have a new Kole tang that is finally eating good after a week or so of kind of pecking around. He is getting pretty serous about eating now. I have been feeding the sheet type algae on the suction cup clips. Also some spirenula flakes. I put Boyds vitamins on everyones food about 4 times a week. Seems to keep them healthy and ICK free for a while anyway, crossing fingers.
