How do I get the green algae to start growing? I have plenty of brown but no green.
The tank has been up and running sinse december, The light(reagular floresent) is on about 9 to 10 hours a day.
Maybe the 4 turbos and 1 CC star are keeping it clean. Any Ideas?

You really dont want alges of any kind {hair algea that is,unless that is what you want}in the main tank.Well, macro algea {plant algea}goes good in a tank.

It's seem like your tank did not complete the cycle
if you have a skimmer turn it off.
add more live rock.
feed more to those damsels or just add a piece of flak to the water to boost it.
if the tank been set up in sept, you will notice very shortly
