Post-vacation chores....

Performed 2.5g water change.

Fed 1/2 cube of Mysis shrimp with 5ml of Selcon.

Trimming & Weeding:
  1. Removed 5 Shiny silver balls (Valonia macrophysa) (without breaking them)
  2. Removed 1/2 cup of hair algea
  3. Removed 1 cup of large brown macro-algea (mostly as it was covering some of the polyps)
  4. Removed 1/3 cup of medium-small brown macro-algea, Kelp, Sargassum (probably)
  5. Removed a couple pieces of grape calurpa {corrected: Green Grape Algea (Calurpa Racemosa)}
  6. A couple stalks of the green/white algea, Caterpillar Weed (Neomeris annulata)

Gave 3, 4, and 5 to Josh at work for his tank and Tang. While looking at it we found a 3/4" star stow-away; lucky Josh

Here's the "clean" tank:
