    My fiance' wanted everyone to see the mad scientist at work.So I apologize for the M&Ms
    They are my favorite lounge around shorts.LOL!!
    Its been a couple of days now and all the corals are opening up better than before.Almost lost my cleaner wrasse but hes up and about as soon as the lights came on this morning.I broke the quartz sleeve in my uv sterilizer before I started this project when I was trying to put in the new bulb that didnt fit.So now I'm waiting for new bulbs and quarts sleeve to come in.I am much happier with this aquascape and I think there are much more hideing places for the new fishes that are on order.I caught my lawnmower blenny munching on my fiance's orange plate fungia in the bio-cube and moved it to this tank yesterday and you can barely tell he did anything to it. Thank you for the funnies and the compliments.

    How did you get your rock to be so purple? It's awesome looking.
    What's the size of your tank?

    I've never had a coraline algae problem accept it gets a little out of control on the acrylic at times.I keep my magnesium at 1350,ph 8.3,kh 10-12,calcium 440-460.I dose iodide once a week and strontium once a week and pottassium once every other week and iron every other week.Actinics are very important for coraline so my actinics come on 2 hours before my daylights and turn off 2 hours after my daylights for a total of 14 hours actinic,10 daylight.
