I always see nice photos on ReefCentral but rarely do people post pictures of their tanks at their worst. Post your ugliest pictures here so we can all feel comfortable that we're not the only one with "ugly" phases (algae bloom, accident, disaster, etc.).

This is the worst my tank has ever looked.. I just stopped doing maintenance after a cyano outbreak. After I started neglecting it, the cyano just disappeared..??:confused:

Ok, so it's a cycling shot, but it still looks like crap. Sad part is I haven't really bothered to take any photos of it looking good.

WOW, djr that is a bad looking tank. I know what you mean, I will post some pics of one of my tanks when I was cycling. it looks like a bomb went off inside of it. I has powerheads strung all over the place and salt creep all over. when I get home from the office I will post. they will make your look beautifull.

This is NOT in our tank but I figured if someone wants to see ugly pics, this may fit the bill. There was an earlier thread about it.

Here's the original thread started by RonSF. There's also a dead pic in there. I won't re-link it here. Enjoy. :)

The hair algae is the least of my worries. I wonder if the Blob Sculpin eats Don King Algae....
