My 90 Gallon Reef Tank (2)

Here's another vid of my tank. I've rearranged the rockwork a few times since the last video. Been a few changes in live stock since the last vid too... I lost my cleaner shrimp and the kole tang, but, have added a Naso Tang, Lawnmower Blenny, Coral Beauty Angelfish, a Green Clown Goby, a Diadema Pseudochromis, a damsel(not sure what kind it is, but it looked cool), and (very carefully)another small Maroon Clownfish.
Also had a bit of a surprise, as I showed in a different video, I found some tiny jellyfish in my tank. I tried getting a better shot of them in this video since I was using a better camera than my phone has.

As far as this vid goes, I've been fighting some rampant algae growth, but it seems to be getting better.

Finally though, I read an article on "reefcentral.com" on photography and so I decided to take some of their tips and got some pretty good still shots that I put at the end of the vid. Hope you like.

for setup info, please see my other video.

is it possible to create a balanced self maintaining eco system with this variety in a tank or is that an impossibility water wise ?

[torosax]

@beingatliberty like how self-maintaining are you talking? You'll still always need to make water changes..

[101MrMom]

What kind of fish and anenome is that at

2:15?

[torosax]

yeah... sorry it took so long to respond... it's a Green Clown Goby hanging out in my Pulsing Xenia Coral

[kbryon]

some remedies or advice to try and help the algae bud,, try a foxface and a few more snails, rodi water only but im sure you know this, also judging by the incredible health of your clam you are running lights long and hard,,maybe try and cut back some just long enough to cure your algae problem,,,again just advice not meant to sound like a weenie

[torosax]

ok, ;o)

Things got worse with the algae after a bit, but they're getting better, I did a 30gal water change, added clearmax to my tank, added a foxface and two sea hares! So slowly but surely they're eating the hell outta the algae so hopefully sometime soon I'll actually be able to see all the rocks in my tank haha

@torosax naso tangs get HUGE so upgrading is a good idea!

[alpinestars]

its no enemone it pulsing xenia

[purpletang21]

I'm not sure if you have a protein skimmer or not, but that and frequent watercahnges will help w/ the algae. otherwise it looks good.

Wow! That looks so cool. It takes a lot of discipline to keep up any fish tank, let alone something like that. Awesome job.

[torosax]

thanks... lol and nope you don't sound like a weenie ;o)
