I am going to put the pics of both of my tanks in here!

First is the 29 gal

These are the first pics I have of the tank, the Damsels are still in it. (Which I now realize is VERY mean and wont do it again, I promise!)




Here is the tank some are from yesterday and some are from today.

I just added the live rock on the top right, I am trying to add more and aquascape more so it looks better. I have to take my time with it because the newer tank.
Is the stuff growing in the sand, the redish purple stuff normal?





You can see my very shy wrasse in this one!



For some reason as soon as I got my camera out the Royal Gramma was shy too!


AND WHAT IS THIS GROWING????
(the green thing!)

Here are the starting pics of the new 22 gal. I am planing this to be corals and *maybe* seahorses! But there is LOTS of research to be done before that is decided!

Sand is still settleing!




Looking better!





Thats all for now! We are still waiting for it to cycle!

I always liked those green coris wrasses.
That green thing is a type of sponge.When you do your water changes,just break it off and siphon it out.Just dont stick you hand in the water for an hour or so afterward.That type of sponge releases something that will make you itch like nothing else will.
Great looking tanks BTW.

Should I peel it off the rock? Is it bad to have? I am feeling bad that I have let it grow as long as I have!!!

Yote is right about the green thing -- it's a sponge. Your tanks are looking good!

The purple-red stuff on and in your sand is normal -- it's just algae.

Not unless you just want to peel it out.It wont hurt anything at all,just make your arms and hands itch is you happen to snap a piece off while working in the tank.
