Noticed that my Copepod Population is starting to build up in my sump, as well as my Chaeto Growth. Managed to get a vid of them crawling around last night:

This isn't permanent, just a trial. Got some saltwater acclimated mollies to try out for algae removal:

Tried out Flucanozole treatment for Hair Algae. Here was the tank just a few weeks before starting treatment (notice all the gunk in the rocks):



Here it is after 4 weeks of a single dose of Flucanozole and a week after doing a 20 gallon water change:

Corals are bit light in my tank and given the price ($20) I couldn't help but pick up this little Frogspawn from my LFS:

Just over a week ago I added an Emerald Crab to my sump to help out with all the algae my grow light is producing. I put him in and he ate a bit and then vanished with no sign of him. Today I checked the sump again and there he was grazing as if nothing had happened. My apologies on the lighting as he disappears when it's well lit and it's hard to get good lighting down in the sump when it's off:
