sgoodine Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Hi folks. Here is a picture of my 3 month-old tank. It was originally started as a 10 gallon 11/26/02. The 7 gallon was born when I moved the contents from the 10 gallon 12/26/02 (just the S/W, LS, & one small LR). I have since added everything you see in the photo. I plan to add a lot more as time allows. I keep telling myself "No, don't buy that coral today - wait a few weeks!" Anyhow, this has turned out to be a great hobby so far. I'm really amazed that these small tanks can do so well Happy reefing Shane Link to comment
Donna Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 very nice looking tank:)...real clean and neat. I often think about switching over to a bow from my 10 . uhhhhhhhhh it never ends does it:0 Link to comment
supernip Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 omg your sand is so clean but I see you have some hair algea on the filter I presume. Careful, it could spread but dang what a nice tank. Plus your rockwork is great Link to comment
sgoodine Posted March 4, 2003 Author Share Posted March 4, 2003 supernip, yes that is hair algae. I'm removing most of it tonight with tongs. I've been putting this off for a couple of weeks now but I had to put a stop to it tonight before it does get out of hand. Thanks for the kind remarks Donna & supernip. Link to comment

Crakeur Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 tank looks great. The hair algae is actually kinda nice looking. Yes it should be removed but, contained in one spot like that, it looks real nice. Is that xenia or the star polyps growing out from under the right side of the candy cane? Link to comment
sgoodine Posted March 4, 2003 Author Share Posted March 4, 2003 Crakeur, that's star polyps growing under the Candy Cane. I'll take some close-up pics when I get a better digital camera. My HP 315e really sucks at macro shots. Shane``` Link to comment
