I have 5 in there now, plus 2 hermits, and 5 little black and white stripped crabs.. the algae showed up over the past two or three days.... Im going to get 10 more hermits and 20lbs of cured rock right now. that and a water change. Im hoping i can nip it in teh bud. But i also need high output lights too.. Know of a vendor that sells VHO lights or halid for a 35 hex?
Thanks

you can get a single mh pendant and that should be good light....coralife makes a good 175 watt but if your tank is deeper than 24" than i would go with 250 watt

If it is black..chances are it is probably not hair algae...more likely "snot" algae..dilfil crap...i can never remember how to spell or even say that one...something filimentas or somewhere around that...
