80g Shallow Reef Build

Looking great, I really like the dimensions of that tank! Wasn't this an all captive bred build at one point? If so, I'm curious what wild caught animals you added.
The Duncans, Acan,Hammer, and Zoas were wild and given to me by an LFS, so I could not call it all captive bred anymore :(
I actually like the look of Ulva. Bubble algae on the other hand, an absolute never ending nightmare. It has taken over my tank entirely. It is relentless!!!!
Vibrant used twice a week has pretty much eliminated the bubble algae. I have had to add No3 almost daily to keep them from bottoming out.
 
Any luck with the Ulva? Have the same issue and its driving me insane.
I pulled as much out as I could and because I had bubble algae starting I started using Vibrant at 2 times a week dose and that has taken care of all my problems.

I understand the temptation, I went to the LFS this weekend and it was hard leaving with only frozen food...
Mostly captive bred is still a plus in my book! :cool:

It is, and since they were free and I knew they were not going to survive in that nasty tank they were in I had to take them. At least they have a better home now and are loving my tank.
 
Tank is doing great so I added 2 new coral and a very small one spot rabbitfish.

Beautiful, @Manose ! I really am starting to love Rabbitfish.
Me too I had to have this little guy as he had been in a frag growout tank for a month. He started eating the next day as I didn't get home till way after midnight.
