It's my turn...finally took pics tonight

Took some pics that turned out ok. Please ignore the cyano, it does not exist, IT DOES NOT EXIST.

The last picture is an ORA Duncan (or so the seller said). My sun coral and dendro were still asleep.

The tank still needs to mature alot but I finally feel like I am making progress. Except for the cyano of course. It has taken a year to collect and grow the frags. As the sig says, I am on a tight budget.

Wow the tank looks great I can't believe thats only a twenty gallon!

The pictures are really good as well.

When I had a bad cyano problem there were a few semi simple things I did that took care of it almost immediately, if you need any help just ask!

The sun coral and dendros are the main contributer to the cyano. I have to feed them alot to keep them healthy. It is too much for the 20. A soon as my NC 24 cycles, they will be in there. 24 gallons with a 20 gallon sump/fuge. That should help.

If you have any suggestions other than cut back on feeding, I'm all ears.

You could give them to me!

Well, It was worth the try.

Looks great though. Everything looks healthy and happy.

Nice job

Some idea's would be more water flow,cut back on feeding, cut back lighting cycle , More water changes and or skimmer if you do not have one ? None the less tank looks great.

Those duncans looks great, like giant oversized zoa's.

Great looking tank

I assume thats some frogspawn at the top of the tank, its fat. Like the tenticles are chubby and fat not long and stringy.

Yeah that is a frogspawn. It came out of an SPS tank with tons of flow. The color wasn't that great but it was free! The color is getting better all the time and the tenticals are developing. One of my better purchases. :-)
