 Topic: New Hex in town!

Hi Everyone,
So here is my story. I was told about WMAS from the start of things (two years ago). Never thought that I had time to go to the meeting, but now realize that talking to others about the hobby is probably more benificial than always cruizing the net or asking someone at the LFS. I went to Fragstock, and visited some tanks during the tour. After the tour I decided that not signing up to WMAS was a mistake. So I signed up.

Here are some pictures. I choose a few of my small corals to show as well. As you can see my tank is still in its infancy. The first year the tank was a FOWLR, then I added three pieces of coral, and that is when the hair algae revolution took place. Battled that for many months. Tried everything, including very frequent water changes, phosphate removal, lawn mower blenny (RIP), mexican turbo snails (dumb things dont like to live) and improving circulation. I am thinking that it was my light. I recently upgraded to a 150W Metal Halide, and the stuff started dying quite fast. Still some remnants of the hair algae, but before there was a green monster in my tank, so I am quite happy with it now.

Here is what a customer said while on hold Oh my gosh! Did you open the door? I told you not to open the door. Dre is in here completely naked and he's got freak'n Macaroni and Cheese in his hands.
