Thanks to AquaticCo and Tom...
I have new lighting in my tank
Through the help of Doug, Mr. AquaticCo himself, and Tom I got a good deal on the Coralife Aqualight 2 x 65 Compact fluorescent light kit. Several weeks ago my electronic ballast died  Tom helped me out with an HO set to give me light until I could get a new set of lights. So here is one happy TRT member and customer reporting in.
Pay no attention to the algae problem.  Tom thinks it's some species of derbesia. Maybe pseudoderbesia or pseudobryopsis. But a rose by any other name would still be a menace to the tank.
So here are some pix.

Great pictures Cath!!!
I love the ricordias, the zoos and that cool hermit!!!
BTW, I don't mind the algae at all..... that's quite an outstanding progress in your tank. Congratulations !!!
I took the liberty to pull a picture you posted back in 2003.
Anybody see the difference?
