    New Niger Trigger

    A recently bought a 3 inch niger trigger and added him to my 120 gal tank. His tankmates include a lunare wrasse, porcupine fish, maroon clown, and a snowflake eel. I have approx 150 lbs of lr and just wondered if anyone had any takes on Niger triggers. He seems to love brine and krill.

    how to get green algae instead of red

    How long should I leave my lights on for? standard lighting in a 120 gallon tank with fish only, no coral. I heard 14 hours from my lfs. he said less and the algae I would produce would be red.
