Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I meant cut down on phosphates and nitrates not the other two lights. You could turn off your lights for 2 days which would also help. Again, though this does not cut down on your phosphates or nitrates. Have you tested for either recently?
You really should be doing weekly water changes, that is also adding to your problems. You have an under powered skimmer that is not pulling enough out of the water and too few water changes which is leading to high nitrates and phosphates which is leading to your hair algae problem. Hair...
Looks like a good list and those radios are very tempting (honestly I just want to see a tank with them so if you feel I am pushing you that way it is because:fox: I am). I know cad lights are very pretty tanks, should be nice. When researching the tank just figure out what is going to fit...
Kind of looks like diatoms, are you using RO water and have you changed filters recently? If it is diatoms they are feeding off the silicates in the water. As far as the SPS goes, cut the coral off below where it is white, like well below.

It should reside in a 125 gallon or larger aquarium with a 2-4 inch sandy bottom in which it can submerge itself since it sleeps in the sand. It may be kept with fish that are aggressive or larger than it is, but should be housed with more passive fish as a juvenile...
First off welcome to the club. Secondly, just want to give you a big kudos for looking for knowledge before you set your tank up. Too many times people jump in and ask questions later but it becomes almost impossible to help at that point.
I just broke down my 30g cube so I have some insight...
One other reason Fios is MUCH better than Comcast:
Comcast will only setup your Internet without the wireless router. You then have to call and order it from them AFTER they install the wire. After being sent to a facility in Brick that did not have them, I had to wait to get one by mail...
I have had all three over the past three years and I loved Fios over all of them. I started with cabelvision in my oldest apartment had it for 18 months. Then I switched to Fios in my past apartment for 13 months and loved it. I don't have a land line either so just TV and Internet for all...
