About three months ago I started to get some algea on one piece of rock. The algea looks like a SOS pad that has been streched out and is a brownish green color.
I tried to manually remove it and when I did alot of dusty stuff was underneth and clouded the tank. A week after this it was everywhere
I took a peice of rock and put it into my 37 gallon that has been steup for two months (nothing in it except sand and another peice of rock). I let it sit in there for a week with the lights out and it didn't phase it. I took the rock out and scubed it in some tank water then rinsed it in another bucket of tank water. Two weeks later it's back.
My tank is a 75 gallon reef 1 1/2 years young, 60 gallons of sump, Berlin skimmer, 100-125 pounds LR, 4" DSB, 2 175w 12,000k MH, 2 55w acintic PC's, 2 40w acintic, 2 55w daylight PC's, 2 40w daylights, Yellow Tang, Coral Beauty, Lawnmower blenny,
percula clown, lots of pods, bristle worms, and a bunch of corals.
I feed very light. Tank is 80F. Nitrates are 0 - 5, phosphate is .2 and everything else is 0. The tank gets no direct sunlight. I've looked at alot of sites that show different algeas and nothing lloks like it. Please help
