hey I was wondering if you guys could help me with a potential algae problem. After my octo Curla died I converted my tank on to a reef. Well actually I'm in the middle of and and am just starting to stock up on coral. After I got my compact fluorescents I noticed a rapid increase of algae growth (predictable), however I'n not sure what kind it is. I was hoping that it was red coralline algae seeing as it first showed up on the LR and merely made it seem healthier, but its spreading to the sand and walls. Its rust colored and is basically a smudge, however I'm starting to see some green stuff popping up that def isn't coralline algae. So I was just wondering if the rust stuff is bad and if so how to get rid of it. Also how do I get rid of the green algae? here are some pics
thanks!
thanks!
