all most every thang i have put in the tank was frags. lol it just takes time i let my tank go for a little while as you can see the hair algae all over the place. i just added 100 astra snails a blue tuxedo urchin and a skunk cleaner shrimp, a yellow tang, blue hippo tang, lawnmower blenny, purple firefish, and i got a new coral a pink tip elegance coral.

I run a biopellet reactor and don't have hair algae. my Lawnmower just died last week because it wouldn't eat anything else. For me it takes money I don't have to get a full tank like your so I have been enjoying my fish for along time. Lol

iv been thanking about trying biopellets never used them before tho. after some time and your coral grow big enuf i cut mine in hafe and trade them for other stuff all that live stock i just add i i only spent 50$ and that was just for the taxs. and i all so got 200 gallons of salt mix and 2 test kits lol

Lucky you. But if a little algae doesn't bother you i wouldn't mess with it. Biopellets can possibly take out your tank if isn't started right and I would hate to be the one that gave you the advice that does takes out such a beautiful tank. :jaw:

Man that hippo tang is small. You chromis are twice the size. Looks like it is time to frag again. Lol

bigkai · May 27, 2012

lol i got a small hippo so i could watch him grow and by the time he gets big i might be able to up grade my tank. bad thang is i just fraged a bunch of stuff lol and had to move coral around to try and keep the fighting down.

bigkai · May 27, 2012

that hippo gets run all over the tank by all the othe fish.

REEFKEEPER10 · May 28, 2012

I'm sure you know they are one of the worst when it come to ich. Make seen to get then when there small. Looks like you might need to upgrade soon then you thought or you will probably have the first above water coral garden. Lol

lol he seems to being doing ok for now and hopefuly my cleaner shrimp will keep him in good health. i have all ready had to move some of the coral from the top of the water down in the tank lol their is a 180 tall for sale i would love to have but it might couse a divorce.
