    light cycle for soft corals / green algae problem / feeding question

    I've given the tank a scrub (urchin permitting) and its looking much cleaner . I'll keep on top of it and get the water tested in two weeks when i do my next change. The wife won't let me buy anything else this month so i can't get my own phosphate tester yet heheh .

    light cycle for soft corals / green algae problem / feeding question

    The guy I got the tank off reckons they'll need changing in the summer. How long should bulbs last? Do the soft corals need feeding once a week?

    Just another question (im a pest I know !) I love a bit of DIY and the tank is located adjacent to my garage wall .

    green algae

    i've noticed a few patches of green algae on the back and sides of my tank. I have about 5 turbo snails but they seem to be ignoring it. Any advice about getting rid ? I was thinking of scrubbing it away with a clean sponge

    Greetings traveller

    Thanks again I'll look into acquiring that book . I've had the tank less than a week it was drained and moved from my friends house about 2 miles away it took us about 3 hours to move it and set it up again. Would the tank be similar now to a brand new tank ? We used the same water.
