72 gal bowfront
seaclone 150
80 watt fluorescent (4x65 coralife power compact is on it's way
powersweep 228 in tank
rio 2100 with scwd return from wet/dry
120?? lbs live rock
40lbs combination sugarsized sand and crushed coral
3 feather dusters
2 emerald crabs
35 hermits scarlet and blue leg
4 turbo snails
3 sand sifting stars
1 large and 1 small brittle star
1 yellow colony
1 colt coral
1 green polyp colony
1 unknown soft coral (came attached to feather duster)
1 cleaner shrimp
1 (very strange) arrow crab
1 royal gramma
1 blenny (very cool if you like sadists)
2?? brown clown gobies
After all that I forgot what i was posting about... :? came home from work and found that a bubble algae that had been on one of the live rocks had popped and the shell had traveled about 1 foot. I took it out and didn't think anything of it. now about 4 days later my water has this greenish haze and the live rock all seem to be greenish, the back wall down by the sand seems to have taken on that same disturbing glow as well. I scrubbed the walls all that i could reach anyway and I changed 25 gallons of the water last night and it looks a little lighter but maybe i'm deluding myself.
so what do u think-- one little bubble algae do all this or what??
ps- how can you tell if your rock is starting to go purple, doesn't it start green??
