Hey guys, it seems like a VERY long time since i have been on, and well i have been neglecting my tank quite a bit as well.
But I have made the decision of partially tearing down my tank and starting over. But I need someone to house my 4 fish if possible?
Preferably I wouldlike to scrub every rock, add more sand, add more rock, and let my tank re cycle.
My algae has gotten WAY out of hand, and i feel starting from the beginning, with superb water chemistry, with ALL the chemical tests is the way to go,
as well as covering up the sides of the tank exposed to the window.
So if anyone has any extra tank room (Also preferably in the Bethesda area), please let me know ASAP! I would like to start this project ASAP.
I have
2 clownfish
1 tailspot blenny
1 purple firefish
PLEASE!!! and thank you.
I appreciate any help i can get.

so this morning i found my beautiful brain coral 90% bleached.....
this really bumms me out
all my other corals look perfectly normal-- so like aaahh
im gonna do a water change right now gr--
i also think the last time i scrubbed my tank down- i removed a lot of the bacteria from the rock and started a new cycle but like my corals looked fine until i saw the brain-- idk
OH an mr ousnakebyte...... you gave me an aptasia....... thank you
( but thank you seriously for those zoas.... just not the aptasia... should i kalk it?)
-
i love the wood color-- its looks nice as is--
but correct me if im mistaken if you paint (by brush) than i believe treating or priming it may be a good way to go if its not entirely needed...
but i would think an antique varnish (stain?) would look really beautiful also-- (not brown but a black one-- but that gets real messy i think.. not sure haha)
looks really nice!!

MORE PICTURES
!!!
Before
after another big cleanup
i rearragned the rockwork--- again
i like this a lot better now (second pic it might look funny in the pic but in person its really nice) still geting hit by algae bad--
ummm im gonna pick up about 30 astrea snail-- cuz i currently have 1 turbo and 1 astrea- and unfortunately they arent doing the job
as mike h suggests i should get a phosphate reactor---- which i will prolly do next month or so
thats all for now

if you put seahorses... no stinging corals!!
and would be better that you only have seahorses and nothing else especially for something so small..

HAS to be from the tank, or can it be an ocean/wild shot?
...mike you answered the question....

Awesome looking specimans!
Your RBTA really looks great too!
thank yu thank you!!!
my RBTA is doing AMAZING!! (there it was a little shriviled... since i had been messing with the tank and took it out of the water, and then had powerhead aimed at it.. its had a tough day...)
but i was worried because the clowns hosted in it and itts soo little.. and they realy beat it up... but not really because its sooo happy... and i feed it like craazy... not trealy... some mysis every day or every couple days...
but its getting big and pretty

hopefully
i manage to spill a bucket of corals on a daily basis as it now seemss...
also i think my sixline thinks its a clownfish....
it keeps wanting to join the "hosting" party in the nem.... came litterally up to the anemone... clowns did nothing..
i think it has already gotten a bit stung...
(and i think i got a reaction to something... glue or idk.. part of my fingrer started to swell.... acclimation days are difficult
