Good Afternoon Everyone

Im making a collage of worst to best before and after fish tank cleanings
looking for some help of the community could anyone/everyone lol post pictures of the greatest before and afters
maybe battling some dinos or some algae ?
 
I like seeing before-and-after photos of the following:
Terrible algae outbreak to a clean tank
An empty tank to a flourishing tank
Going from a small coral frag to a huge colony.

Glad you were able to overcome the algae outbreak!
 


Before and after 2-3 years of growth, so easy to forget what things looked like. Wish I got a picture of it filled with green waterborne algae in the beginning lol

About 2 months... the turn point was when I startied cleaning it every other day and sucking the algae through filter 5micron and back to the tank. Also bacteria dosing I believe helped alltho it was weekly.

what bacteria were you dosing?
Microbacter clean and microbe-lift special blend, on weekends, I keep using special blend once a week...
 
The little video was a couple weeks ago with dreaded whatever it was gone. Took me over 1 month or 2 to beat but I beat it with no chemicals
