You brought the stand back from the brink of disaster.

 

[james30ct]

Well I decided to remove all of the sand and I guess I did it too fast and lost almost all my sps frags. Everything else is good and the tank is starting to look better.

As stated by many, the stand looks great after your revamp, sorry to hear about the sps frags!

Very nice thread - :)

Not much to report. Doing a bunch of water changes to keep this fuzzy algae outbreak from spreading. Started running gfo. I think the batch of sand I added was bad.

 

[james30ct]

Well I am back to bare bottom and things are going ok. The sand caused a bad dino outbreak. Did a 4 day peroxide blackout and have been ghanging gfo every 3 weeks and thing slowly seem to be getting better. Purchased a gig the other day and the clowns love it already. It decided to eat a bicolor foxface that I just got so that wasnt too fun.

I removed some of the leds and added 3x175w xm halides. I will try and get some pics up.
