continued in new topic called pictures, I didn't post the picture before the anemone went behind the rocks, because I can't remember where I put it, but I did post some pictures that I took today.

I got my anemone from fish 4 u, unfortunately it has gone deep behind my reef where I can't see it . I my not sure its still alive even, I have some more great shots of it before it went behind the rocks with my clownfish that I'll post later though . I saw that one at From the Sea and wish I had bought it, I was there while the guy was walking out the door who bought it.

UPDATE:

New Snails

25 Mexican Turbos, 40 Margaritas, and 20 Ceriths, hopefully this is enough to take on all of my algae! I'll post picks of the tank later too.

I have been look all over for a large yellow tang and have not seen one at quite a few lfs. I did know that the PT was aggresive, and used to have a big scopas tang in before the PT that died from my Ich plague, but thats another story. Along with the PT I also have a blue hippo tang that I have had since it was the size of a quarter and is of fairly decent size now.

At the meeting Cody told me that the fastest algal growth happens in this area where the Anemone landed because that is where the sun hits the tank for part of the day. Snails, snails, snails.

He's not sure about adding another Tang because his current Tang is a Purple. (FYI - Purple is a nice color but because of agression is typically the last Tang added.) A larger Yellow Tang, if properly selected for agression, could hold up it's own. There are also other algae eating fish that would work. See the June 2001 Sea Star for ideas.

Cody,

Awesome anemone! Where did you get it? I hope that is not the one I saw at From the sea that I almost bought, or I will kick myself in the rear. Have you decided on what anemone fish you will get for it?

Last night Cody and I talked. He added about 30 snails and 50 hermits some time ago, and ten snails recently. I recommended a lot more snails and a few more hermits. Here are the numbers I recommended:
30 Astrea snails
30 Mexican/Margarita snails
20 Cerith snails
25 Hermit Crabs

Another herbivorous fish or two would also be a very good thing.

After thinking about it overnight, I also suggest that he reduce the photoperiod of the MH before an algae bloom takes him by surprise. He had 4 - 55 watt PC and added the 2 - 250 W MH. This is such a dramatic increase in light energy over the 90 gal that it will certainly result in an algae bloom unless sufficient action is taken to prevent it.

I would love help on my algae! I had big increase because of my new dual 250 mh lights. I will try and take a picture of the whole tank tomorrow.

Nice pic. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I found with my editing program, Kai's Photo Soap, that if I use a pic at 72pixels for web use and make it 7-8 inches wide (450x450), it comes out just about the right width. You can always experiment and edit to remove and add different size pics till you get it to look how you want it.

Now...
let's talk about algae. The pic gives a small glimpse that intrigues me. Can we see a bit more of the tank? I'm curious if that algae film on the rocks is local or tank-wide?
My impression, if it is tank-wide, is that more herbivores (specifically snails & a yellow type Tang) may help prevent future problems. You didn't ask for my opinion, and I hope you don't mind my observation, though I could be totally wrong in my suggestion.
