Looking for interesting macro algae.

Since I have to travel more often now I decided to sell off most of my corals and go with a more macro algae dominated tank. If you have any strains that you think would be a nice addition to my display please let me know.

Thanks!

I heard about your new job Spike. Sounds pretty killer!!!! Congrats too you!! Did you sell off any of your corals yet or no? I would be interested in some of them!

I sold most of my exotic stuff to a 120 I set up for a client. I'll post some pics of that tank in the next few days. I was surprised how much my stuff filled it up. I did keep the corals I started out with 6 years ago. These corals have been pretty much bullet proof over the years.

The red chalice was the hardest to let go of. It was also the coral that worried me the most if the tank were to crash while I was away. It had grown to such a nice size and shape. I could have made a small fortune if I were to frag it up and sell it that way. In the end I could never stomach cutting even a small piece of it.

I'd rather find a good home for my corals than to come home one day to a dead aquarium. It was a tough choice to make on my part but a wise one I think.

Any way here are some recent pics of my tank:

I know it no longer has the awe factor than my last tank but it was either this or tear down the tank altogethor.

I will be stocking more fish in this tank and am trying to get a female mate for my pipefish.

Right now I have the pipefish a YWG and 4 chromies. I am ordering a couple of purple firefish this week.

I have been incorporating my art concepts and lighting effects for live bands and have been working with Perry Farrell of Jane's Addiction.

A guy in my local club has 'Dragon's Breath' algae that is nice.

If you attach to a return it grows real well, as seen here:

No way - that's awesome! Every once in a while we find something that's worth giving up our tanks for - glad you found your reason! :bigsmile:
