11 hours per day. White and blue at 80%Just the normal phase of a new tank. Try cutting back on the white lights. The anemone will need the blue. How many hours a day are the lights on?
The coloration of your rocks is what is supposed to happen. It's going to get worse also, not better. This is all normal progression when using dry rock.11 hours per day. White and blue at 80%
You really won't be able to support a sea hare or urchins in a tank looking like that that's only ~60 gallons. Sea hares usually starve out even in 150+ gallon systems once there's no remaining hair algae (and I don't see any hair algae). I'd suggest focusing on smaller snails like nerites, ceriths, astraea, dwarf ceriths, and maybe a trochus or 2 at that tank size. The big eaters will struggle long termThanks for the replies everyone.
Speaking of cuc:
I have:
Starfish x1
Urchin x2
Snails x5
Conch x1
turbo snails x2
hermit crabs x3
Sea hare x1
Need to get more? 240L tank
Agree with everything Jekyl said. I would recommend turning down the white light. You are going to get this growth anyway, it is perfectly normal. BUT, with 80% white light, it will explode with algae growth. Personally, I keep my white light at 30%, and blue at 9011 hours per day. White and blue at 80%
You don't want high white light in a marine tank. That will produce massive algae issues. White is only for viewing pleasure and should be a low percentage of spectrum maybe 25%.11 hours per day. White and blue at 80%
I eventually got bristle worms ( good ones I am told ) busy little guys some people don't like them but keep my rocks clean. Have no idea where they came from. Probably refugeesGreen Rock good. Healthy film algae is important.
