2 weeks ago I got some reef chili and fed my corals. I also since then added some reef snow about 4 days later. I went away on vacation came back after 2 days and when I got back I had a rusty / brownish color algae on my sand along with algae on the glass that looks like it captured bubbles. Not able to do much with the tank before work i had full intension to do a water change when I got home from work. When I came home I had to deal with a dead filter instead. Thanks Florida storms. We had a power outage and I think that the bio wheel never was able to fill back up with water and killed the pump. So rather than doing a water change I went and added a backup filter for the night. Next morning I went and got an aqua clear. Now I have a brand new filter. Finally Did A Water change and did a 3 day light out. I now have turned back on the lights and after 3 days the algae is back.
