An algae bloom is normal in new tanks, it's part of the cycle, especially if you added new rock. It will go away soon, cut down on the amount of time your lights are one.

Hey Loy,

I see you're in town......I need you to call me ASAP.

Have you tested your PO4 (Phosphate) level? I had a bad brown and red algae problem and found my PO4 was at 1.5ppm

 

[bigbird123]

what do you do to reduce the po4 level? i've got the same problem since i added my 30ga sump.

There are phosphate sponges out there that will help remove it, but you need to find the source or youll always be running the sponges. It can come in through:
Non RO/DI water
Uneaten food

A sump full of macro algae will also reduce PO4 if you have enough macro algae.

The solution to pollution is dilution.

Water changes. It was more a response to the question on reducing phosphates.

 

[Guest]

more better i sale the live rock.....my tank look so ugly

someone wanna live rock??

4.00 o best offer or trade for other live rock

 

[pernelf]

Loy, even if you sell your rock and buy more new rock, you might have the same problem. Just wait it out. I know you've been waiting a long time but it will be worth it in the end.

 

[Guest]

No, just be patient. EVERYONE goes through this in a new tank or when you change something on your tank. It will pass soon enough.

 

[Guest]

ok thanks to all for help me..thanks bye bye
