ugh, I wish I could view the video at ork, loving how it looks Monk!

 

oh and if you're wanting more GU10's I'll be switching all of mine out for an LED build in a week or so, you're pretty close too....I have 10 CW (4 of them are 4x1w 6 are 3x3watt) and 10 Blue all are 4x1watt as well as the pair of 3x3watt reds. about 50 sockets too I think, will have to double check...maybe we can work out a trade for some macro clippings!?!?!?

Quick update, I had to take the angel out, he started nibbling on coral :( I was hoping he wouldnt but thats how it goes. He was a pretty fish too. I have replaced him with a Royal Gramma. Hopefully he will come out of hiding so I can get a pic of him.

 

Also the Blue damsel has been banished to the 10g for killing the 24k Molly :( And yess I saw her kill her O_O

 

I now have 2 fat pregnant black Mollies lol, Im not sure what to do, I could always let them just have the babies in the tank and let them go on thier own. I dont know, I have a couple one gallon tanks maybe I could throw a couple in there.

 

Oh well Ill get some pics of the Gramma and the fat Prego's soon as I can! lol

Thanks Kat, I loved the Angel but cant have him eating coral :(

The Cyphastrea (Meteor Shower Coral) is doing great. It has new eyes growing all along itself O_o

Im not sure how to place it, it seems to have entirely encrusted around the rock it was on lol, top and bottom.

It seems that the 2 female Mollies have become pregnant and are blowing up like a balloon lol.

 

So I decided to fix up the 10g for the Mollies to have theri babies.

 

I took some egg crate and mounted it using 2 mag floats to hold it in place. On top of the crate I arranged clumps of macro algae that was all growing together to form a hiding place for the little guys once born.

 

Some pics

This is the 10g that the babies are going to be heading into.

 

I have had macro in this tank for a good 4 months growing out with the only light being sunlight from a southern facing window and am having great success with good growth. go figure.

 

Only flow in the tank is from an AC20 and has been that way since I started it to hold macro.

 

Here are some pics

Its has the feel of Ochtodes I would say, Its branches are flat, its stems are flat. Im not really sure what it is.

Here it was when it first sprouted out.

Awesome macros buddy. Is that caulerpa considered a nuisance algae? Those runners look like they can get deep into rockwork
