On another note...just noticed this morning some of my base rock is starting to turn purple . Thats "Coraline Algae" correct? This thing is finally starting to take off!

Ok good....seen a guy in there last week buying a bow front, rock sand and wanted to buy fish and coral for when he got home to set it up

i had nasty hair algea for the first 3 weeks, picked up 8 turbo snails and an emerald crab and its all gone, now my coral beauty has nothing to pick at. Haven't had an out break in the past 2 months. Once you get your levels all in check it should work its way out of your system.

some people just dont know what they are getting into. I know first hand. but was very patient with everything, only had rocks and water for the first 3 months. Everything is now going great!

I would just hope the LFS would tell them no.
