Damn! I wanted to submit a photo of my local 10 gal, completely covered in a carpet of blue-green cyano...but my big flatclaw hermit ate it all.....I'll have to wait until it stirs up the bottom and fills the whole tank with a cloud of dirt.....

This is my entry

First I will explain that this is the result of providing a suitable habitat for the collected spotfin butterflys to grow in. I was feeding a large amount of mysis and allowing the pods plenty of places to grow. I removed a deltec 902 skimmer, and took the GFO offline. The PO4 went up, but the algae kept the NO3 bellow 10.

I was saving these shots for an upcoming article, but what the heck :Blurp:
notice even the snails need help, they turned into snail chia pets

the swamp...

Sorry for the delay, we weren't able to fix our image resizing problem as quickly as I originally though. I am resizing by hand so it may take a minute.

OMG J!!!!
The fish look happy. I wonder how an acro would do in there.

 

[jhale]

hey Rich, an acro would not like the high po4, but the softies don't seem to mind.
