    Everything is diminishing! algae growth (I believe it to be Bubble Algae) Yes, I read what to do... Also here are my parameters I have been doing water changes for 2 days now.. Just lost my amazing anemone and all I have left is my lunar wrasse and a royal dottyback took alot of my live rock out also.. The algae was covered on them.

    how long has it been since you changed out the carbon? I usually change mine out every month or so just to keep it really fresh and my tank crystal clear. Packleader went through this same exact incident, might want to pm him or wait for him to chime in with what he did.

    There is a form at the beginning of the ASAP section that you should fill out. It will help quite a bit. Sorry you are having troubles. It can be a challenge, this hobby of ours.
