I need an ID and some possible help.
I've got this pink algae growing on one of my frags. I'd like to know if i need to get it out before it spreads.
(sorry for the blurry photo, it's hard to get a pic with this lighting)
My tank has been running on low light for about a week and a half. I currently have two 18w T5's that only cover a very small amount in my tank (they were purchased for a back-up tank).
Also, I have air bubbles growing where the light actually hits. I've read that it's just a precursor to hair algae, that true?
Lastly, the thing I may need help with is I think my Zoa's might be shrinking...I can't tell if it's that or if it's just the air bubbles making them look smaller, of if I'm just going crazy (the girl friend says they're bigger) but I figure it's better to ask to be safe than sorry.
Paramaters:
Ammonia: 0
Nitrate: 0
Nitrite: 0
PH: ~ 8.0
Alk: ~240
Salinity: ~35
Temp: ~80 F
Any help is much appreciated.
