I started this bady up in June as a 6 gallon....then I wasn't satisfied with that and upgraded to a 30 lol. I bought a dwarf lionfish the other day. He is doing well and loves all the caves/hidey holes. I just bought that barnicle cluster so it should get some algae on it soon so it doesnt look so bright.

Having some red slime issues from over feeding ...I feel like a bad mom :( Just did a large water change before getting my lion over the weekend. I'll be upgrading after I move, I just had to get into salt again!

I waited 2 months with just live rock and waited for the brown diotoms to leave. Then I added 4 green Chromis in August. I just have to do water changes more often and I just added the air stone so I don't have dead zones.

what a delicious addition to your tank, i recommend mixing with panko breadcrumbs and a little butter once it bulks up a bit :drool:
