Full tank pics here

This may sound silly but I am doing a cross-stitch to put up above our main tank in our home and I'd like the fish in the cross-stitch to be accurate. Anyways here is a picture. I think it is a red coris wrasse http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i284/girliesdb/DSC01269.jpg :oops:

how can you tell if a ocellaris clownfish is pregnant and about to lay eggs?

Well let me ask you this. Why is my algae out of control? Here are me test results on every thing:ammonia 0 ppm, nitrite 0 ppm, nitrate 0 ppm, pH 8.2, KH 10 dh, alk between 2.8 and 3.2, ca around 500 ppm, temp 78, and salinity 31 ppt (1.023). No fish and some hermit crabs and cerith snails. My...

I have an ammonia test that hangs in the tank at all times.

Coralife Salt or Red Sea Salt have good mixures.

I think he just like to hang out like that. Because last night He was moving around and eating. And this morning he was back there. I dont know. :roll:

What is everything that I should be testing for? And what are the best testing kits? Right now I test nitrate, nitrite, ca, alk, and ph. I'm not really sure what my results are on the alk and ca tests.

what kind of tests should I get?

I think I took that pic before my algae problem. My husband said he has already checked our tap water and he says there are no PO4 in our water. Thnx I cant wait unit I really get it going with fish and corals. :)

Its a 12 gal sw reef tank. Theres no fish so I don't do any feeding. There are a few snails and hermit crabs in the tank. I use water from my tap that has a soft water unit.

I have green algae growing on the glass of my tank. It looks like I have little plants growing on my glass. Does this mean I have a PO4 problem? If so what do I do? If not then what is my problem and how do I fix it?

I think its dead :|
