TheSaint216's 65 gallon

You will be happy that you started the tank running the bio pellets. You will have excellent parameters from the get go. Therefore you shouldnt have to deal with any nuisance algaes at all. Cyano can happen sometimes when the bacterial balance gets out of whack, but adding some microbacter or microbe lift special blend sparingly will knock it out.

Typed from my phone, because I have nothing better to do.
 
Major setback. Par38 bulb fell in tank while I was working 12 hours. Came home and apartment stunk and everything but fish and cleaner shrimp were dead.

Well everything suffered a bit and some were lost after the Par 38 bulb took a dive in the tank but alot has rebounded.
Redid the Rockwork, Added some Mangroves more as a novelty and part curiousity, JBJ Ato to make life easy andan Aqua Mag Jr that I put a few
Torch Corals on. Added a new nem today and a few new corals.

Been awhile since I updated this. Here's a new tank shot. I took out the fuge now its a barebottom sump just running chaeto. Got rid of the LED's and went to a Marineland Pro T5/Halide combo and loving it. Also tried to go for a Bonsai type aquascape, got tired of the pile of rocks look. Here's the latest pic.


 
Looks great and nice aquascape!
