Hi RC,
I have an unusual question. I set up my 75g mixed tank and have had had my system setup and stable (ideal or acceptable perimeters) for about 5 months. I started my tank with acid washed Marco rock and Caribsea live sand. I did go through a very moderate diatom bloom but ever since then I haven't had hardly any algae at all. I have had a small amount of pods populate my system. I increased my lighting schedule to 10-12 hours per day with my dual a360w kessil's to help encourage some photosynthesis. Inhabitants are: a small amount of mixed coral, one maroon clown, one turbo snail, and three margarita snails. Still to this date I don't even have coralline growth and am having to supplement seaweed for my CUC.
I know algae growth is normally discouraged, but shouldn't I have SOME algae growth?
