    green hair algae

    Test your water from your RO filter also and check it for phosphates.sometimes when the filter membranes get old they don't filter out as well.If your phosphates prove to be high you can try adding a phosphate sponge.

    GASP!!!...The dreaded popping sound!!!

    I'm not sure but I think mantis shrimp don't make popping sounds.I think it is the pistol shrimp that does.It could be snails too.My snails pop against the glass sometimes.

    A'm i ready to get anemone??????

    you might want to look into the lighting.I know you need very strong light to keep an anemone.Even though your water may be fine your lighting would be the only thing holding you back from keeping one.I do not know how much pc lighting you have and I am not sure if you need mh or not but that is...

    I don't FREAKIN get it!

    I would recommend I know it is going to be a lot of work but something has to be off somewhere,some parameter or something.If your salinity and everything else looks good.You should do 30% water changes every 3-5 days with natural seawater until eventually your system should to stabilize.I am...
