Not particularly, but I also don't mind algae on the rocks... the angels and tangs eat it. I don't have any fake corals so nothing really to keep algae free. I do clean the glass of course. I also grow algae in a fuge.

I run carbon periodically. I don't use phosphate removers. I grow algae in a fuge though.

Whats the resason for running carbon periodically?
Do you believe its unhealthy for fish in a long run? Was thinking what I want to put in my BRS double reactor, can only run rowa or other remover, but I was always running carbon in my reefs. I do not have space in my small sump to grow macroalgae there. Barely can fit pump,skimmer, and ato, heater.

My brother lives in San Diego and I'm trying to plan a visit out there just not sure when. What I'd like to ask you Peter is if I could come by and see your tank? I love angels and butterflies and at one time had a 200 with mostly butterflies and many different ones. Anyway I'd really love to see your tank if it's possible.
Thanks, Dave [QUOTE=SDguy;24308807] Quote:

Wow, sorry to hear about the Chrysurus Peter. That's scary since Angels usually aren't jumpers

Damn pity. I just sold my Chrysurus. Was about 30cm. When I picked it up you could actually feel the heart beating. They're stunning fish.

Nice Fowler's. How long did it take to get that big? I have had mine for 4yrs or so during which it went from 4.5 to 7in.
