Well a few pics, first is before I got rid of the flame BTA, Kenya tree rock and giant frag rack, second pic is of the tank as of yesterday, had to move a few rocks, looks a little bare on the bottom left, hopefully Mr.Blasto will fill that spot in, also had to move the rocks back farther in the tank as cleaning the glass was causing them to move forward due to a loose base rock, as you can see much more light to the sand bed now, as I wasn't even able to clean most of the glass as the rock was to close, also things in the second pic are still a little mad from the moving around...

Amazing how fast a tank can go down hill when not payed attention to, all it took was 3 days for my nano to start killing itself, my skimmer had been overflowing back into the tank for probably 2 days and before I got sick the cup was about half full of some nasty stuff,I checked this morning and had a layer of purple red skum across the entire water surface any longer and I think the tank would of crashed, fish are sluggish, crabs barely moving, barely any coral PE, torch sucked right in,frogspawn shrivelled up, already did a water change, new carbon, phosphate pad, I guess we'll see what happens, gonna do another water change later today

Thx Luke, ya been watching the tank all day just about to do another water change, since lights on things have started to come back to life, the torch is starting to come back out, yay,,frogspawn doesn't seem like it was to affected, only thing that seems like isn't going to make it is my birdsnest, it was completely covered in slimey algae, I think he's a goner Ive already replaced my polishing pads twice cause they got nasty pretty quick, fish are swimming around nice darty now, gonna do a rock syphin on the next water change as the rocks have accumulated some pretty nasty stuff on them...will keep posted...

Half way back to being clean, now another month of SPS colouring back up, what a week of being sick will do to a little tank

little update since the almost crash in early March cause of my paly toxin run-in,, thought I was good for a bit,, until the red slime that just wouldn't stop showing up started,,but!!,finally got rid of that... Then started the GHA, basically 2 months now and it's almost back to being clean clean, lost a few frags, saved a few, birds nest has gone crazy for some reason, might have to try and add a few sps frags back into that system soon, lots of brown still, once I see more colour coming back and once I get rid of the rest of the GHA, pic is kinda sad, I had the tank looking so good not that long ago

Thx bud, but I wouldn't go that far ;p,, been a long road for the system to recover, that's for sure, I bought a Mexican turbo and three Reg. turbos and they seem to be doing the job, plus I'm not getting 1/5 of the amount of green algaes on the glass as I was, side glass is about a week or two, tonight is water change and maintenance, so hopefully a couple more weeks and I'll be really rockin....

Hey peeps.. I've been waiting a bit to post for this little tank as it's been a long Algae battle, Well since March and The paly toxin Encounter, and the skimmer back flowing into the tank for a day++, and being sick, the tank has looked pretty bad, then came back, then got worse-but not as bad, then better, but now!! it's back to its prime I'd say, anyways everything seems to be thriving lately, the SPS that survived are starting to show signs of life again, colour and growth finally,(most) need some new bulbs to, maybe even a new fixture , anyone?, 24" 4bulb ???, anyways a few shots and a vid of the tank, hope you like, Enjoy
