actually taht could be good your tank will go through a few algae blooms then get back down to normal..you should be fine..you can dip your corals in freshwater or iodine..lugols iodine is what I use..

This is probably bad.... I have some stringy hair looking brown stuff in my tank....
any ideas anyone?

cyanobacteria... a yucky bacteria that is a pain to get rid of. Somewhat common in a new tank. Google it or use the search option above. You've find a million threads on it..

I know they're reef safe, but they just bother my corals so much esp at feeding time. I hate them and will never buy another one. soon as I get rid of this one. This is the 3rd one ive had!
