just got back in this great hobby
set up a nano 10 gal, 10 lbs crushed coral, 20 lbs live sand, 11 lbs live rock
have a banded coral scrimp, 6 hermit crabs, 5 turbo snails and ( couldn't help it )
1 blue devil damsel 2 anemone's
first main question: have a older coral life 96 watt 50/50 with the standard legs
is this to much light how long should I leave lights on? I'm getting the standard brown algae ( from new tank I gess )
