Ok folks
I have a "borrowed" digital camera from work- and to be honest its pretty poor- I've taken lots of crap pics of the tank - but these are the best ones so far.
As you can see nothing special- but things are progressing. the initial bloom of algae is dying back, still have some hair algae as you can see- but *"Leebot" the Snail (my sons name for him!http://www.ultimatereef.com/ibv3/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif is doing a great job leaving a clear trail behind him everywhere he goes! http://www.ultimatereef.com/ibv3/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
These are low res copies
There are higher res versions on my website- see sig.

Hi Kenneth,

Great stuff! Have you found any neat hitchhikers popping out of your live rock?

Keep on taking those picces. I don't have any of my tank when it was first set up and I really regret it now. Things can change so quickly and you don't really realise it till you look back at the pics.

Lookin good http://www.ultimatereef.com/ibv3/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Regards

Lisa

Hi Lisa
Not had anything really "special" in the rocks but, starting to see some bristle worms, a lot of fan worms, and little clear shrimps. Also some things that look like white dots that extend a long feathery stramer with cillia into the water- especially noticeable under the blue lights.
Also got a lot of very coarse green/brown algae looks like sea weed, feels very hard- not sure what that is- slow growing but loads in there!
also seen some of that horrible bubble stuff appearing, but so far have been able to remove the affected rocks and get it off without bursting the bubbles before it gets a hold.
All good fun!
