Hello,

I'm a complete Noob to saltwater tanks, but have always wanted one. In August I started my first tank. It's a 36"x20"x21" Planet aquarium crystal reef tank with a mahogany stand. So far I have two clown fish, and everything seems to be going well. Below are some pictures of my setup. So far my control board is less than desirable, but is functional. I'm waiting on a Red Sea Roller mat, and my ATO system. I will hopefully be adding some fish, and coral in the future. For now I'm content with the two clowns until I know I can keep all the parameters stable.

Your tank is off to a good start!
 
Need some help. A couple of weeks ago I seeded my tank with corraline algae from algae barn. Two days ago I started to see what I think might be corraline algae but I feel like it’s really fast. What else could this be though? It’s the specs on the rock and sand.
