hey guys, whats up? Sorry I havent been around much i've been busy with school and broke so I could not do to many fish tank investments, but I do have a green hair algae problem I dont know how to get rid of it. Any Ideas? Thanx, Mark

What is your reason for saying this I was told that iodine increases algae and coral growth have I been mistaken?

well thank you guys yah I just like it because it makes my corals grow faster I only put in like a third cap full every week I always do less than the requried dose but it does make the corals grow like weeds. Speaking of weeds any sugestions on how to cut back GSP? Never done it before. I...

I put prime in my tank instead of iodine booth the bottles are red is the prime going to screw up my system. Hi every body, Mark

Ive seen worse buddy keep up with your water changes but also cut down on your lighting take it down to like 6 hours a day or maybe even lower there are clowdy days in the ocean so im sure you can turn the light off for a whole day if you wanted to.

I think your over thinking it buddy LR is very porus so it doesnt take as much volume as you think rule of thumb is 1lb to 1.5lb per gallon that simple. and thats a lot of fish for 30 gallons it depends what kind of fish they are but it sounds like a little 2 much.

Alright becca heres my list "keep clowns to same species they will kill each other" take the sally light foots out theyll turn into fish eaters quickly Gobies, flame hawk, hawian wrasse, coral beauty, flame angel, 6 line wrasse, and any kind of blenny I like the scooter ones.

I would check your calcium for sure. That doesnt sound normal to me.

Did you test your water right after moving your rocks around this will stir up old dead stuff and somtimes raise nitrites.

patience my friend youll be mad at the hobby and is extremely demoralizing if you kill a coral 2 months in. Id say add your fish 1 at a time and wait 2 weeks after cycle. To add corals one at a time. start with somthing hardy like brain corals or GSP.

pretty sweet doc Ive seen puzzles that look like that

Lets see some pics boss man. Yah my old lady just likes the fish but all my friends check it out before they crack open a beer when they come over. Welcome to the reef!

It looks really good I only got to take a look at the pics but I do like the fake plants they kinda blend in with everything.
