Oh no ! tank had developed a crack. It is the most odd place. Starting under the black plastic lineing on the left side about 4 inches from the back. It is current on the outside of the tank and not yet leaking. This is disapointing and feels like a step backwards. The tank has just got over the last diatom bloom and is looking really good with crystal clear water 0 Nitrates and a bright white sand bed. Some small spots of coraline algea (a very nice rich purple) is starting to develop on the back glass and the rocks get more coraline growth each day. It looks like this weekend will be spent doing a transfer. Any tips or recommendation would be welcomed.

I had recenly added a good sized Leather tree coral, small rock of Green mushrooms, Orange spotted Sleeper Goby, and about 10 nassarius snails. Added over about a 2 1/2 time.

OK I feel stupid. Turns out not a crack, but some excess silcoln mixed with some pretty hard salt creep. My fingernail test sure seemed like a crack, but a razor blade proved to be effective. Thank goodness !

Very glad to hear it is not an actual leak.

Some new additions


Hello All. I have some new addtions to share. Added Elegance coral, Leather Tree Coral, and a Kole tang over the last two weeks. For some reason I can't add the pics. I will keep trying.
Kole is eating well from the small amount of algea in the tank, but has not yet touch food addtions to the tank. (Formula 2 and some Seaweed hung from a clip). I do see one small white spot on the top fin which has me concerned. I will keep a close eye on this ! I picked him up just 3 days ago.

Pic's of Tang not great as he is still a bit skittish if I am too close to tank. I keep my distance for the most part to let him settle in.

I recommend soaking seaweed in garlic... to help with the ich

I like the light set up also. Not so much with the bulbs. 3 of the 4 atintics went out with the first 6 weeks. However the LFS replaced free of charge with ATI atintics. They have REALLY improved the overall look of the tanks.

I have the garlic added green and red ocean nutrition seaweed, still no luck, not a nibble. Rod's food herbivore blend tried last night, still no intrest from the Tang. He does indeed have ich as I have posted in general forum.
He is still continually picking at the algea growth on the LR and back tank glass. I am concened as there is not a whole lot of overall algea growth besides coraline in the tank, and poops a lot ! Still been less then one week with him so all hope not lost yet.
