    the tank doesn't look to bad for a very basic tank. i use tap water for top off, done one water change, uses a 2 bulb 54w t-5 and a 28 w actinic for lighting. i don't care about about the algea to much because i belive it is natural, but i hate the colonial hydroids. the corals are thriving and the fish are healthy so plug away with any questions or comments you have.







    not the greatest pictures but you can see what i have in there.

    I like your macro in the front, I've always liked the look of planted macro, but always been afraid to do it, looks nice!

    if you don't have a tang in your tank it looks even better. get a little razor calurpa and put it in a corner of your tank and trim it regulary and check in the sand around it for runners, just don't let it attach to any rock.

    I also like the macro in the display. Good example of a simple and healthy tank.

    Look at it this way, organic control of the algae! It's a smart way to give them supplemental food so they have the option to graze on it if they will eat it.

    I know what I am about to say is basically blasphemy in SW circles, but I don't really like tangs that much. They add a lot of activity to a tank, but IMO, they are more trouble then they are worth.

    i prefer wrasses, but my son wanted a tang so we got it. the pictures make the tank look empty but it really isn't that bad.
