hopefully the pocillopora doesn't take over every inch...this could be a bad idea!

well I made a big mistake....put some dry rock in, all the corals closed up and I guess a mini cycle is happening because there is algae everywhere.

My dottyback went rogue as well....
ate my sexy shrimp
killed my red scooter :(

I'm debating about bringing it back, or just leave the 2 clowns and DB in the tank...they all get along.

Really frustrating, the tank was looking great.
