brown wafer algae

Does anyone know what this leafy macroalgae is that keeps spreading in my tank? It's like one big leaf, and it ripples out over everything. One piece covered an entire rock. If you need pics I can get some later. Thanks

Here are some pics of some very interesting algae that I have in my tank. I have not been able to ID either of them using as many sites as I can. I think the red thread like algae is Red Turf Algae, but I have found pictures of RTA and it is not what I have in my tank. These three are of the...

Hi All, Ive done a search on brown algaes and yes I am going through that cycle at the moment. But a lot of my rock has brown algae on it that is an inch long. Im pretty sure its not hair algae, What could it be? Thanks again!

Hi, Does anyone have any of these Blue Tuxedo Urchins? I am thinking about getting one but I read they need alage to survive. I don't have too much algae in my tank. How can I feed it if I get one? I read that you can use dry seaweed, but how do you feed it to make sure it gets food? Thanks

Has anyone ordered live rock from Reefer Madness? I am looking at the Premium Fiji to start my tank. I'd like some feedback on the place if possible. At $4 a pound it looks like a good deal, but you never know. http://www.reefermadness.us/Fiji_Premium.htm

I just purchased a Salifert Phosphate test kit. My reef tank has been set up for seven months. I followed the test and didn't get any reaction. This was a suprize to me as I feed my tank pretty heavily. Has anyone had any experience with the Salifert test kit, or testing for phosphates in...

I posted this on the Atlanta forum, but wanted to get some more opinions. If you know what the black growth is, I would love to know! http://www.thereeftank.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24809

Hello All, I have seen something in my tank for the last month or so, but it was a very fleeting glimpse. Once the main lights weren't on, then the lights were on but the thing moved from one hole in the LR to another very quickly and I didn't really get a good look at it. From what I could...
