Since I picked up the perfect snowcasso today (which I have been looking for) to pair with my Boo-Boo (wife's name for our clownfish) I figured I would introduce you all to Boo-Boo. Named this way because when we got him he was brown and very tiny (through the overflow grates tiny). He grew up and now looks a lot like Sanjay's photons but he isn't. We are waiting on shipping the snowcasso until the weather gets warmer. Hope you enjoy, I picked calmer music this time.

Wrasselady, may I suggest reading this link

http://www.manhattanreefs.com/forum/reefs-beginners/8799-beginners-please-read.html

and this

http://www.manhattanreefs.com/forum/reefs-beginners/46961-cyanobacteria-primer.html

Then post a thread in the beginners forum with all the info from the first link and your goals and members here will definitely guide you in the right direction. If you are using RODI water from the start and are a month in I am guessing you are still cycling and the algae you are getting is a normal part of the process.

hi wrasselady I just started this hobby too, and my tank is about 2 months old and I am having the same exact problem. When I went to the store the rock was purple, but now it is like all green and brown. And my tank doesnt have the red and purple on the glass either. And I am also using RO water. Does anyone know who is more experienced than us tell us what to do?

thanks
