    moss like algae

    What kind of lighting do you have??? Sometimes this can be caused by improper lighting or older light bulbs. Blue legged hermit crabs and turbo snails clean it up nicely!

    How did you get into this Hobby ?

    I started in freshwater. I was always going to the LFS nad seeing the salt water section and how much more nicer the stock looked. So I started a little 5 g FO tank. It didn't take long before I got a full blown 35g mini reef. The best thing I have ever done. This hobbie is the best (not to...

    Water changes during cycling?

    I agree with alti, I didn't do a water change until the cycle was well over. You don't want to mess with your levels any more than they already are.

    Green Brittle Star??

    I had one a while back and it cleaned the sand on the bottom and scavanged a lot of leftover food. They are extremely interesting to watch eat. Yet every time I put a cleaner or peppermint shrimp in it dissapeared a few days later. I finally got rid of it!

    HUGE Leather

    Recently (2 weeks ago) I purchased a normal everyday leather coral. In this 2 weeks this leather coral has tripled in size. I add the normal chemicals in my tank (sechem). The only thing that I do differently is add extra Iodide because of my Xenia Polyps and colt coral. Can anyone tell why it...

    green hair algae

    I agree with bosco, lights are usually the main cause of green hair algae. If they are older the spectrum you want has faded out. Turbo snails and a bunch of blue hermits will clean it up in no time!!

    Older lightbulbs responsible for Cyano maybe?

    Antired is totally coral and fish safe. I have a lot invested in my tank as well and it did not harm anything. All it takes is 2 dosages in one day and the next day the slime algae is gone.

    Ok, posted about Cyano being caused by old lights... now, what are the effects of it?

    I am not sure there is much harm to the tank except for an ugly appearance.
