Hi there, we just started this aquarium October 17th 2023. 125G Since we have added 4 Duncan's, 2 alvepora(one died within 72 hours of getting it), gonipora, clams, Kenya tree, favia, purple people eaters, elegance(australia), pectina, blue Xenia, two rock anemones, 2 small clowns, 1 blue tang, 1 royal gamma, 1 cleaner shrimp.
We seem to get pretty heavy alge buildup pretty much on the money 5 days after cleaning. By day 7 it almost makes the glass look foggy.
2 nights ago we noticed some white fuzz spots, kinda freaked out, my wife did some research and found it may be pineapple sponge. (None of the fish will eat food off the bottom of the tank).
Today I noticed some weird looking film over the goni, same kinda white stuff but in one spot seems brown.
My questions are:
1) is the alge build-up normal?
2) what is this weird film buildup?
3) is the lighting to strong? 6 32W HM electronics lights
