What's up!
Pic of the new light and your Zoas?
My fluval edge did the same thing. What were your previous lights? How many watts? If you know that is
Off topic but my tank is close to your tanks age now , I had a 7 lb piece of liverock with 65 lbs dry rock and I just started a week ago to get the brown stringy algae your talk about , A little string hanging up from rock everywhere . I have it on sand as well. I think it's part of diatom. My glass is covered brown algae as well.Same thing meaning brown algae build-up? What did you do? My previous lights were the stock 3w, plus three additional 3w, so 12w total. But they were just basic sit-on-top lights I got from Home Depot. Corals did well, but didn't thrive, and not sure it was proper light quality.
The new lights are 27w.

I have a starry blenny in the tank but he doesn't do Much not that I see at least , maybe he goes hunting for it at night. I also have some snails , and some hermits . Today I took my Magnet and scraped a lot off the glass. But I usually leave it for snails.to eat. Can't wait til the diatom end though so this way can give tank a good cleaningThanks for the info! Are you doing anything to clean it up?

Some more snails won't hurt. About 3 more. Get some astrea snails if you can manage. They are the best at getting work done haha.I have five hermits and 3 snails
@ MermaidTail, what are the new lights you've added? Do you have any pictures? Thanks.
Very cool! It looks like it's a custom hood replacement? Do you have any pictures of the under side, the unit itself?
I had the same ones on my 3 gallon with controllerThat's them
They worked out more than ok haha. They were growing my corals like crazy
