    Brown Algae coming off of sand like a carpet

    Remove it. If some floats around in your tank after you vac it. use a net and play in the water awhile. Have fun. I have not had much of a problem with brown algae since I added a fighting conch and phosguard.

    Lighting

    I run whites for 9 and flourescents for 8 on a PC Flourescent. I get morning sunlight:happysun: 'til around 9AM through windows. I believe that can be good for corals and bad for algae. It took me awhile to adjust my timers to this and keep algae down. Now, my corals are growing. This may be...

    Naso You are right, 100%. :bowdown: I wanted to get a baby one from DrF&S. I was going to build an in wall/bar 100gal. setup for new house in about a year. I didn't think it would grow to be uncomfortable in that time. :sfish: How fast do they grow? If you don't think it's a good idea, let...

    Red Sea Prizm protein skimmer

    skimmer Jasen, It's a SeaClone. I think the bubbles are because of the Prime I have added. I found my book and it troubleshoots it that way. I'm not sure what a bubble trap is. Thanks for helping me out. Burney
