nevets_mcd Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Here are some shots from 3 of my algae based tanks. I have almost no corals because of various kill fests but plan on adding more from the swap. If you've never seen an algae based tank you can still get lots of color, but much of the variety is on shapes. This is what I consider my main tank. 75 gal. This one focuses more on rockwork with corals. I plan on adding lots of frogspawn type corals and blastos. Full Tank Shot 75 gal Tank 2 by nevets_mcd1, on Flickr This is my second tank. This one features 80+% sand bed so I can have fields of algae. It is tied to the first tank with a 55gal sump. Full Tank Shot 75 gal 1 by nevets_mcd1, on Flickr This is my third. I just did a major purge and clean out of this one and removed much of the algae and redid the rocks to give more space. It is a separate 55 with no sump. My plan is to have this one have a mix of softies and algae. Full Tank Shot 55 gal by nevets_mcd1, on Flickr I have about 30 varieties of algae right now. Of course the best and rarest ones I had I lost in my crashes. I welcome any questions on setup as I would like others to check out this small niche of the hobby. The flickr gallery has many more shots. -Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And actually owe ya a thank you!! Adding the reds and your macro varieties along with other tacticts help rid my cotton algae! Lookin good....and I'll be glad to trade frags for other varieties I don't have at the swap :-) Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puffdragon Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Your tanks look great! We bought some algae from you yesterday. Could you please let me know what they are called? Also I wanted to show you a picture of the flame algea we have, it is really hard to showcase the orange tips. My email is [email protected]. Thanks in advance.
