So. Our saltwater fish tank has been up and running for a while now,
with only one serious algae attack. We solved that problem by watching
food consumption and purchasing a UV filter to kill all the floating
stuff. However, we have an algae problem we can't seem to fix. At first
we let this algae grow, since it was such a pretty red color and seemed
to be benificial - it kept producing air bubbles (we were assured by
our lfs that these bubbles were nitrogen and we shouldn't disturb the
algae). Since then, it has spread to almost completely cover our live
sand and seems to be affecting our blenny's health. The more algae
there is, the more gaunt and underfed he is. We have contacted a place
called Drs. Foster and Smith, and they aren't being much help. Their
"cure-all" for "Red Slime" didn't seem to work when we tried it - if
anything it helped the algae. Certainly there was a new bloom almost
overnight.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#
