I’ve had a tank for approximately 20+ years. I started with fresh water and moved to salt water the last 15 years. First salt water tank was 125 gal reef tank. In January 2015, it was paralyzed and while I was in the hospital and rehab for about 6 months, my tank was taken over with hair algae. After coming home and trying to clear up the tank and control the hair algae with no luck, I decided to tear down my tank. I was unable to do anything and had to watch my wife do it all by her. My family insisted I keep the tank to help with my depression I had after my paralysis so we started over with a 150 gal reef tank. With my inexperienced wife’s help, we are trying to get the tank going again. One year into this process, this is where we are. Spent a lot of time reading and looking at reef tank information. We are currently struggling now with bubble algae.
