25-03-2006 19:17 by wayne	hi ive had my tank running for about 4 months been through the brown /red algae stage put in some rowaphos after 8 days no more red algae no im developing green algae (my nitrates are very low and im also getting a lot of tiny air bubbles over my live rock any ideas
25-03-2006 20:40 by roy bright	whats the question? aint no marine expert but someone on here might be able to help you Wayne
25-03-2006 20:40 by roy bright	whats the point? Question? ta
25-03-2006 20:42 by wayne	how to stop the green algae , and why so many bubbles
25-03-2006 20:44 by roy bright	lighting levels too high? i dont think green algae is major prob especially if nitrates low (below 40 ppm)
25-03-2006 20:47 by roy bright	it takes a very sensitive fish to be bothered by nitrate below 40
25-03-2006 20:47 by wayne	you must have a big head to house that big brain of yours youve answerwed most threads (recent)in the last 10 minutes not out spoken reminds me of me
25-03-2006 20:49 by wayne	not worried about the fish but p.i.s.sed off with keep putting my hands in every day to clean the gravel/glass
25-03-2006 21:25 by Willuk	Understand your point wayne, I'm going through the brown stage but I seem to be winning that battle slowly. Glass cleaning every three days now. I did find that I was keeping my white lights on to long so I have reduced this as well as my blues. The crushed coral which was attacked by brown alge has been dealt with by a sand shifter star fish and hermits and has now settled to its original colour. I have attempted a pre-emptive strike on the alge on my rocks by putting some graziers in. It seems that these stages are normal and as the tank matures the cycle will all fall into place so long as you keep the water spot on. But hey I'm just as new to this as you so could be talking rubbish!
26-03-2006 00:52 by roy bright	whats your nitrate reading Wayne
27-03-2006 08:15 by Alan	Those bubbles appearing on your live rock I'm guessing are valonia remove as many as you can from the tank and don't burst them you will make the problem far worse and I would add a few mithrax crabs to try and keep them under control. I have a valonia problem in my tank and I have a nitrate of less than 5 ppm phosphates also low as I use rowaphos although I can't tell you exactly what it is at as I haven't tested for it for some time now.
