Okay hello I'm still new to the Hobby and I had a question about algae growing in a new tank so I just set up a new tank 20 gallons and this time I kind of planned everything out but I live on the south side of Chicago and it's not very many options for pet stores maybe like 2 and only one of them really have salt water so I started this tank with all dry Rock I started tanks before with live rock and eventually still running to algae issues so this time with the dry Rock in a 20 gallon I got a algae that I never had before in any of my other tanks and I never had bubble algae ever but the algae that I have in this tank is bryopsis I believe it to be I just watched a bunch of videos and a lot of videos talks about the reason why why people get algae but I feel like is it different for every tank which I never hear people talk about I never had bubble algae ever but yet I see a lot of tanks that do so what I'm trying to ask is the algae outbreak in a tank does it have something more to do with the tank rather than all tanks get algae because the tank is nothing but a big ecosystem so what im asking is the way some one go about setting up a reef tank impacts what type of algae grow overall because this tank i have now only have bryopsis algae in it and i believe it have more to do with the way i set the ecosystem up like everything i did from day one to now that entire process because this my first time ever having this type of algae so i believe as well the type of algae that grown in your tank have something to do with the way the ecosystem was set up
