    lots of new Algea??

    I just got my new lights a week ago, and I went away this weekend. I came back and had a huge diatom bloom, but slowly it is dying off already. I just went out and got a 2nd Sand Sifting Star Fish to help the snails, lawnmower, emerals and blue legged crabs out. Eat up boys!!!
