Amps Reef Life 180 Gallon in Wall Reef

I love how BCP look, too bad they take over.

Were they added by accident?

Wow that stuff really worked well!

Yes, it did. When I get home today I am going to turn on the skimmer. I started making water for tomorrow. I am going to do a large water change and get the reactors back online.

Can I say yes and no? lol. I knew what they were when I added a frag of zoas. They do look cool and I have seen some tanks where they only grow a little and completely stop. They started taking over my tank and seemed to battle my other corals for food. Anytime I fed the corals it looked like they grew more and spread more. They starved out some sps by completely smothering them. I have a lot of zoas so I attacked them before I lost anything else. I think they would be a great addition to a fish only tank but for a reef tank its a bad idea.

Update on the tank with a FTS. The Treatment for the BCP is done and they are dead. Some white spots still on the rocks of the dead BCP. No cycle but a nasty outbreak of algae came with it. I did a 55 gallon water change this weekend. Started up the skimmer and added some carbon to the sump. The tank is very happy buy some cyano showed up. I am working on cleaning it up and getting the tank back on track. I will do another large water change this weekend. I did lose two tangs. I am not sure what happened I started the treatment two tangs broke out with ich and died three days later they were extremely fat and happy. My wife and I were very sad one of them had been with us or a long time.

Here some pictures of the tank. They are only iPhone pictures. For Christmas this year I am looking at a full camera setup to photograph the tanks we have. It's not a cheap investment to get a good camera.

Thank you! I am still learning and playing with some of the settings on the camera. There are so many different setting for different lighting.
