i am growing mine with one 6500K cfl from home depot with and out door fixture. It cost about $15 for the whole setup.

I have been using one like this AutoTopoff.com the top switch stops the water flow and the bottom switch opens it. I have also hooked if directly to the water source and an ro/di system so no more fresh tank tank.

I had the same problem in a previous tank. I used a flat paint called plastidip the glare is almost gone and water will not get under it like with the sheet backgrounds. The only concern i would see is avoiding getting the paint in the aquarium. I did mine when the tank was empty and outside.

I am at that point.

Maybe it is not slimy at all like normal algae so I think it is just a phase that the rocks are going through.

Thanks guy it has been like this for about 2 weeks now. Although I have noticed the coralline algae starting to grow on the back of the glass and all the power heads in the tank so I guess I will give it another week or 2 and see what happens.

Thank you. It is still a work in progress I wish that the rocks weren't so green but they will come around.

Update on the 90 gallon I have added a few corals and an RBT anemone. The two black clown fell in love with it the day I brought it home. The full tank shot is horrible the rocks are all green for some reason. I have a separate tread for that.

So i have had a few tanks in the past and this is the first time I have run in to this problem. My rocks with the exception of the few that I have gotten from local sources are all green. Water parameter are as followed: Temp: 78.9 Ammonia: 0 Nitrates: 0 Nitrites: 0 pH: 8.4 Salinity...
