davids 130 gallon reef

Here is my frogspawn that is rapidly branching, my naso and friends, my new lobo coral, and a corner view of what my tank looks like now

 

These are front pictures of my tank going thru the process. the last pic is how it was when i rescued what little there was from somebodies rundown 30 gallon. i recieved the blue hippo with head and lateral line erosion and died shortly after i rescued him

 

so this is what it looks like on paper.
FISH
naso tang, coral beauty, flame angel, green chromis(x4), longnose hawkfish, sixline wrasse, false percula clown, royal gramma, diamond goby, mandrin goby, fire goby.

CORAL
leather, pagoda, pineapple, star polyps, zoanthid polyps(red, blue,green), mushrooms, goniopora, montipora capricornus, frogspawn, torch, hammer, anchor, kenya tree, xenia, anthellia.

INVERTS (not counting hitch hikers)
nassarius snails, turbo snails, astrea snails, hermit crabs(asst), sandsifting star, serpant star, red hatian anemone, hawiian pink tip anemone.

 

ive really been making sure to keep my calcium and alk right on track and today i noticed that the coraline algea is spreading like crazy

 

it's really looking good Dave, very nice colors!!!

 

thanks

 

tank looks awesome!!!!

 

hers some pics of my coraline algae. is this nornal looking growth? i heard that coraline algae only grows when you tank becomes stable aand00 the water quality is good. does that mean my tank is maturing correctly then cause i still have fears after reading everyones stories that i went way too fast am in some way awaiting doomsday.

 

and so im getting just a little bit better with the camera still not up to par but learning.
