    Algea

    Check for phosphates. Also, what kind of water are you using? what kind of lights, and how old are they? Somthing is making it grow. Tap Water is bad. Us RO/DI water if you can. Old lights will change specturm (sp) and make hair algea grow. Also, lights not made for a tank will make it...

    ime, it is not so much as the temp, but big swings in temp is worse. now, you dont want your tank running a 100 degs. Keep the heater on, and try to keep the big temp swings to a minumin.
