That is esv fine grain sand, it's no longer that white.
I took that photo right after adding it, it is blinding white when new.
Since then it has calmed down and looks a bit more normal.

Kathy I switched to coralife after a discussion with Jason at GA and immediately (within 1 week) hair algae starting to die off and red cyano die off!

Kathy, I've not seen any eggs, but a pair has taken up residency in the green slimer and will chase away any fish that comes close to it. with the exception of the pipefish, everybody in the tank ignores them.

Matt thanks, I'll post some close ups soon, just been busy.

an update shot. so much has changed in my tank I should start a new tank thread.
I've changed almost all the equipment, rid the tank of cynobacteria, the auriga butterfly has eaten all the visible aiptasia, and I've added a massive clean up crew to eradicate the bubble algae.

J, the tank is looking HOT!!!! That purple monti up top is taking over....very cool:birthday:

rich thanks, if you notice the colors in the middle are great. that's a new coralife 14K DE they have been under, what a difference.

Beautiful tank. What is the current fauna stocking?

They're also closer to the bulb in the middle

yes they are, but look at the stag just to the left of the purple cap. the half that is getting hit by the coralife is blue, the other half is green!
