Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for some help on what I can do to get my 37g saltwater tank back to looking good again. I was away at college for 3 months and haven't been able to keep up on the maintenance of my tank. Currently there are two Pecula clowns and a bunch of brittle stars living in the tank. I think there may be a bristle worm invasion and there is a lot of algae forming a spider like web around my liverocks. I've attached some photos as well.

Thanks, Alex

I would in order

1 test water
2 do a water change
3 change filter media
4 check equipment
5 scrape algae off of rocks and glass and then vacuum it up.
6 look for better signs of bristle worm problem and then treat as you see fit.
