    Help with Algae ID

    My tank has been set up for about 4yrs and this stuff has popped up on a couple of my live rocks over the past month or so. I go to scrape it off and its like a hard rubber-sponge like feeling. This piece has the least amount on it. The others are covered thick.

    ID on green algae

    I have some green algae on a couple of live rock. I know its not hair algae, Im just getting over that and its not starting like it did. Its not bubbles in the pic, its sand that got blown up on it. It comes off easy. I sucked it off in a baster and now its back in couple of days.

    Clown pair tearing up fins

    Do Clowns fins grow back? Its not really bad, like nemo, but you can tell she has been nipping at him. They have been paired for about 9 months and the female is about 2 inches and the male 1 1/2. She gets aggresive at night.

    Water Storage Question

    One problem I have is that I don't know what was in it first. I found it dumped next to a trash can and it had some pink liquid in it. Im thinking it was soap of some sort, it foamed up when cleaning it out.

What I did was put my output about 4 inches in the tank and drilled a 1/4 inch hole just below my water...

    my plywood tank build thread

    Why not use plywood, screw it together, silicone all the edges, use glass for the front, mask the glass off and use a rino type truck liner to coat the inside. Then take angle iron to all the edges off the plywood and weld you a frame out of the angle iron. Then lay the box inside of the frame...
