    New slug like creature

    He's maybe 1" in length, moves very fast when you shine a like light on him. Not sure how he got in but here are some pictures, the best I could take given that the light scares him. He has long tenticles on the front end and his body looked hairy/scaley ... is he dangerous? Thanks Atif

    purple ish algae ... how do i control this?

    Great point on getting them to test their own water ! I'm using phytoplankton to feed my corals ... I'll scale this back. I want to keep my tank as is for a few months before I add new fish. I stirred up the algae guck on my sand so that the filters can do there thing. Thanks Steve.

    purple ish algae ... how do i control this?

    I get the ro/di from the LFS so I don't about the SiO2 content. No new additions to the tank. Water specs are a ok! I do feed the soft coral on plankton every other day - maybe I need to reduce this to every 3-4 days? Atif

    purple ish algae ... how do i control this?

    Ok - over the past week this small ptach of dark purple algae is spreading ... is it dangerous or should i leave it alone to burn out. i only have 2 fish (clown and damsel) and the bio load is small (skimmer seems to be taking care of that). i only use ro/di. thanks Atif
