Aquarium Advice Newbie
I have a 55 gallon saltwater tank that I have had for ten years. The
live rock have been in for ten years. I have h/o lights. Protein skimmer
and a sump. I developed a algae that looks like brown cotton candy.
I am using r/o water. I removed the few coral and fish I had in the tank
and moved them to a smaller tank which is doing fine. I checked the
nitrates, nitrites and amonia levels and they are where they should be.
I turned off the lights and the algae went away. I turned the lights back
on for 7 hours a day and the algae is back. I do have an assortment of
crabs and snails in the tank. Any suggestions?
