Thanks Donald, I'm using a mix of Tonga Fusion and Lola. Lola is really nice with a lot of texture and it's getting color realy fast, it's pretty expensive though, got it from aquarium adenventure on LI for 9.99/lb, regular price was 12.99! I just reconfigured the live rock design getting ready to epoxy it, I think it looks better now, will take a pic when I'm done, I guess it'll be an all day project :-)

first off, nice aquascaping! if its the same sort of green algae i that developed during my cycling stage then it should eventually fade as the tank matures. should be of no harm. it only stuck to the rocks and not much else. not sure what type of algae it is....altho it is likely that this could be a really green version of the type of algae that likes high phosphates ![]() here it is shortly after finishing the cycling:

Hi Mark, yes, some of the rocks are leaning on the glass. Some of the smaller rocks on top I epoxied them yesterday to avoid crumbling when I have live stock in there. The aquascape looks much better now!
