Our tank is 3 months old and we just upgraded to a quad t-6 fixture. Our water parameters are normal - nitrates/nitrites 0, ph 8.2. This stuff just appeared - What is it? The purple algae seems to be disappearing. Is there possibly some silica just now coming from the base rock? Is there some product we can use to eliminate it? We don't want it taking over the tank. We have about 40 or so pounds of live rock, the tank is 55 gallons. There is a cleanup crew of about 10 to 20 snails and conches and they don't seem to be doing the job, or if they are, not fast enough. There are a few hermits as well... Help.
