    I have had my 90gal tank up and going with cured rock for five weeks. I have have a few things growing and I'm not sure if there good or bad. If there bad I would like to know how to get rid of them. The tree like plants in the last pic are starting to grow everywhere. Thanks

    I recently had a salinity problem in my tank where the salinity was WAYY TOO HIGH, so over a short period I had to do 20% water changes every other day three times, and since my salt level was so high I had to replace the water with fresh water. I finally got my salinity level back to normal but...

    Brown Algea question(with pic) So its been awhile since I set up a salt tank. This one has been set up for about 2 weeks. I notice this starting yesterday and it is more noticable today. Is it going to go away or is there anything I can do to make it go away ASAP.
