That is stunning. I'm getting my buddy on R2R and he has a 60 cube. I'm gonna point him to you. Good work Renato!

agreed. algae dealing (watching others have wrecked tanks, or close to wrecked tanks, yours never was wrecked but I knew it was an ongoing challenge) has made me OCD with my reef, unwilling to lose it. the other day I impulse-bought an acan frag from a bryopsis tank at the pet store, at such a discount I figured it was worth it and id just peroxide it clean to make sure. well, got home and began prepping the frag, removing each whisker and cleaning with peroxide and gazing at my tank...landscape perfection, zero invaders 4 years after my own battles, and Im thinking:

gee, lets play roulette again, you didn't get enough round 1 huh?

so I thew out the frag. that's terribly wasteful, and ecounfriendly, but at least I admit it. I simply will not do the dance lol next time I should buy from the nonchallenged tank and just pay more lol

I hear you! It sucks sometimes. One time I didnt dip a coral. The Next week My fuge was packed with flat worms. I only get corals from tanks I seen it in person. But this red algae is really annoying
