New Pics -Halides-

New pics. The halides are on. The first pic is the acan I got. (the picture is kinda bad, but it's this one http://www.liveaquaria.com/DIVERSDEN...3+8&ddid=71408 )

The 2nd is the german green acro. It lost its colors due to imbalance calcium and KH due to low magnesium.

The 3rd picture is a pic of my foxface

The 4th is the anemone

My Blue tort gained it's color (1st pic), blue mili is bluer that ever (2nd pic), my green mili grew around 5 more branches, and unfortunately my purple tip valida and my purple nana died when my water was bad.

Just showing you some more progress from the very beginning to present.

History:
I've always been interested in Reef aquarium for a long time. I thought it was a lot harder and expensive so I just remove the thought from my head. That thought came back when I saw a 125 gallon tank with everything. Fishes, corals rocks, and everything for the price of 500 USD. So I called the guy and he lives 50 miles from here. Since it was so cheap we went there anyways. Apparently the tank had green hair algae problems. So we thought ok, just don't feed the fish to much right? So we bought it and brought it home. Removed all the algae (unfortunately, with brushes) and it looked great (with exception of the stand/canopy) Within 1 week, GHA appeared again. and again until it looked like when I bought it. I was thinking, wel... reefs are suppose to make you feel calm. Well my tank is making me crazy.

First thing i did was, I bought a sump/refugim and I spent 400 bucks on it and it was only 30 gal. Than I spent $500 bucks on water circulation (mp40) reduced feeding, blah, blah. Waited and waited, but it got worst. A few months ago, we started doing weekly water changes, and it helped. Last month, we decided to "clean up" our tank.

Objectives

1-Make new stand/ canopy to remove the on that looks like it's going to collapse
2-Buy new lights for SPS
3-Separate rocks with algae and without algae
4-Separate corals that has rocks with algae
5-Clean tank of algae
6-Clean rock and coral of algae
7-Re assemble tank
8-Remove algae once and for all

The move/ upgrade on lights, stand cost us 1400 USD. (stand 900, lights about 500)

And there was still some algae, but not much. A few weeks later, we decided that we just wasted 400 bucks on that 30 gal sump. So we bought a cheap 75 gal tank at petco and made our own better sump/ refugim. That removed some of them.

A few days later, we bought turbo snails and thay did a tremendous work on the places I can't reach.

about 1 and a half weeks ago, we got our ASM 400 plus skimmer that's rated for 400 gallon skimmer and assembled it in our 125 and now my tank is clean

Hopefully forever
(well, atleast until I upgrade I'll have to deal with them again)

Wow your tank is breathtaking.

I am hoping to get a 125g SW tank going but first I want to try a small tank which will hopefully be cheaper too if I mess up!

I dont think I would ever leave the house if I had a tank like that lol.

Saltwater is really colorful and active

Hmmmmm.............

Since I lost my naso a month or two ago, I was thinking a blond naso, but that will make my tank overcrowded. All the blond naso I've seen are still juveniles so I don't want to add it when I upgrade to a 250 because it'll be too small compared to my other fishes. So I'm thinking to add 1 in my 125 in a few months, but I should be able to handle the bio load with my ASM skimmer and it shouldn't be to big for two to three years. So what do you guys think? My LFS usually get shipments of blond naso every few weeks and they're about 4 inches big usually.

I'm all so going to get rid of my 2 watchman gobies

Thanks,
