the ddark green algae is prob there due to high level phosphates. butit should not pose to much of a threat if your levels are stable

you can work it out easy in litres first

length X width x height in CM (centimeters) divided by 1000

it work out for every 100 liter off water you need 10kgs off live rock 118gallon say roughly 500liter water makes it 50kgs off live rock to have a good filtration
