Hi. Just took a few quick pictures from my 75. Things are going ok, but life and time have really taken away from my maintenance lately. To be honest I have not done a water change in about 3 months, aptasia is taking over, and I am having some other macro algae problems as well. Here are some pics. Thanks for looking.

Thanks again for looking. Hopefully I can get back to work on the tank and get things looking a bit better.

That's a very nice tank. You should add something to kill the aptasia. I think I have read that camel back shrimps will eat it.

Thanks. I think you are referring to peppermint shrimp. Camel shrimp can get an appetite for coral I hear.

I like how you have it setup, can I ask what that huge flowerpot looking coral is on the left?

I also like the layout of your tank and the variety of items you have chosen. Man, everything looks healthy.

Sorry for the delayed response.

I currently have 5 fish. 1 kole tang, 1 maroon clown in rose anemone, 1 spotted hawkfish, 1 female lyretail anthias, and 1 purple firefish.

I would like to add one more fish of some sort in the future.

And that is a HUGE frogspawn colony! That's really awesome.

Wow......

You have such a gorgeous tank! I love the close-up shots of the Acropora.
What kind of Urchin is that?

That mag-float has been in there for awhile. Awesome tank. That frogspawn and the clam are huge!

Thank you. To be honest, I do not know what type of urchin I have. I originally wanted a tuxedo urchin but settled for this guy. He is VERY ACTIVE and grazes algae down to white rock. Seems to be a good thing, unless you really like purple corraline covered rocks. At least it is keeping the green stuff in check a bit. He is a nice little helper.

Well, I got motivated and actually did a 5 gallon water change today. :D Hopefully, I will get back into a regular routine.

Thanks everyone for looking and the nice comments. It is much appreciated. I have had plenty of struggles and it is nice to get some possitive feedback on the tank.
