    i am really embarassed that i can participate in this... lol i took this tank down a while ago. it was my first salt tank and i really screwed it up. but i learned my lessons the hard way i suppose.

    believe it or not this is as clean as it got. the water green from a suspended algae for a while and i had to do a total black out for 4 days to get rid of it. then i had an outbreak of cyno.

    nice John. I take it that this is for tanks that are currently disasters only, right? ;)

    Glad you're doing another contest, these are fun. I remember the last one had some great submissions.

    Winner winner chicken dinner! I suppose my refusal to buy a RO/DI unit is the cause of my constant problem with cyano.

    ugly tank

    not embarrassed to post for free stuff, I have been battling this green hair algae for about 4 months now. It is slowing starting to settle down especially once I got a lawnmower blenny. If there is anything that you all could recommend I do to help my problem I would really appreciate it. I hope yall enjoy my mess
