About two weeks ago I upgraded my 150 to a 175 bow front, the 150 was an established tank, I added some large base rocks when I moved everything over... Well a week and a half in I've got a diatom bloom and all the hard corals are bleaching, the softies and anemone are looking rough too... I've...

My neighbor has a reef tank and has a VERY thick patch of caulerpa growing and has been for the past year or two. They regularly trim it and it looks great to be honest. Why do most people not like this stuff? I'm considering introducing to my tank. I would assume it works wonders...
