I checked it's definitely soft so it's probably hair algae

This is what I'll treat the tank with

And I just used my display tank water since it was already cycled

After a freak accident I decided to make a quarantine system, this is what it has become. Notice the bubbles This was getting a lot of water on my light and my filter so I had to slow the intake and output of the air So this is how I slowed it This is the outcome Here is my whole setup...

ok, and I put an emerald crab in there to see if he'd eat it but he wouldn't and he starved to death because he just hid in the rocks.

I'd also like to note that this stuff came right after I got rid of a nasty cyano invasion

So my tank is looking pretty bare, I only have a brown palythoa (which is battling some algae that I'm trying to get rid of) and a pink finger leather coral that is starting to get a green hue (I love this coral). So coming this December I'm going to do a huge coral haul. This is my list so far...

can anyone confirm that this is green hair alge

sorry I had to finish my 50% water change and make these images smaller by cropping each one of them.

One sec let me try to get these photos attached

So I have some algae growing in the sand. None of my clean up crew have really eaten any of it. I'm doing a 50% water change right now to lower my phosphate(at .1 ppm) and nitrates(at 2 ppm). I'll also try picking some of it out. But I didn't know if it was hair algae because most of it is...

So I guess since I've totally abandoned my strong low-cost light idea. I guess the new debate is whether to get radions or to get the ap700.

I think I might just save up for a little longer, I mean I've waited 4 years to actually get the tank what's another year for some brand new lights with an apex system now it's just a decision between the radions or the ap700. .....How did this turn into a thread where I was going to buy...

haha, I saved up for this tank since I was 12 and I finally get it started and I just want to upgrade everything:)

Yeah, I just looked at those and they got me thinking should I buy an ok light right now or save up for some high-end lights that I already know I'll get eventually.

Oh yeah and I don't really want to spend over 600 dollars but I will go up to 700 if it's the absolute best choice.

So I know that there is more than one answer for this question but what is one of the best lightings for a mixed reef tank, I have a current USA orbit marine LED but it isn't strong enough for sps corals and I have my doubts if it can even support an anemone. And I was looking at the radions but...

How much room should I give my anemone because I know they like to stretch and move.

I think that I'm going to get a rose bubble tip anemone
