My RO/DI water cartriges went bad a few weeks ago. I posted a similar post a few weeks ago and followed advice but nothing has worked. The tank was over grown with green hair algae. So I took out my corals and only ran the lights for 1 hr a day for about 2 weeks. Of course I did a big water...

My ro/di filters went bad and hence I now have a very very bad green hair algae bloom int my reef tank. I tried pulling this crap off my rocks but it is to slippery and there is way to much. So this is what I'm going to do. I moved most of my corals to a smaller tank. I can't move some of them...

I have a tank raised faulse perc. He has been in my tank for a few mts now and lately he is trying to host in my flowerpot coral. This is fairly normal for clowns to try to host various types of corals. I want to know if him doing this could stress my coral? The tenticles recede a little but...
