Here's a few pics of my first SW tank build. It's a 46G bow with 30lbs LS, 60lbs LR.

I just added another 4.5lbs of Fiji rock tonight that's branch like and full of life and colour. My original 56lbs is mostly dense base rock with some colour. I'm hoping the addition of this extra rock tonight will help the colour come out in the original rock, and add some life, as I haven't seen much yet.

I thought this was a neat looking aquascape, until I saw others... It had to change.

New aquascape with the new LR, front and side view. A little cloudy right now since I just finished.

The diamond goby I added has been doing an amazing job at keeping the sand white! I'm so happy with this purchase.

Starfish. Is the yellow/goldish colour on the LR coraline algae?

Coraline is a purple red.

That looks like diatoms to me, which is a type of algae.

Your tank is coming along nicely...good job. I've never seen yellow coraline algae, it may be diatoms or an algae.
