    golden colored hairy like algae

    I recently set up a new 75 gal about 2 and half weeks ago. I started getting the usual brown diatoms and then it turned a yellow golden color that stretches up and waves in the current. Does anybody know what type of algae this is and will the clean up crew take care of it when i add them later?

    Treating ICK

    I have a newly setup 29 galloon tank. I am new to the hobby and have not been able to set up a QT yet. What is the best way to treat ick in an established tank. If coppersafe is used will it harm your live rock, and will you ever be able to put a clean up crew back in once the ick is gone.
