 |  Hello From East Central Illinois
Just want to say hi to everyone at 3Reef.
I have freshwater tanks for many years, built a 3200gal pond in my back yard about 3 years ago and just started a reef tank about a year ago.
There is so much to learn about maintaining a healthy reef tank I will definitely want to learn more from the experts here at 3Reef.
My current reef tank is a 92 gal All Glass corner tank with a 20gal sump and a protein skimmer. The tank is lit by a 250W HQI MH and about 100W of actinic.

Here are a few pics of my tank. I am battling some algae (bryopsis?) problem which is overtaking the top of my tank. Any suggestion to get rid of it will be welcome. | |
