I just put some brand new, never used limestone rock in a 10 gal to see if I could get coraline growing. I plan on using it for base rock in a upgrade to a larger reef tank than the one I'm using. There is nothing in the 10g for I just put saltwater in it this morning. I put a piece of plastic...

Anyone know where I can buy resin to replace the resin in my DI counter top unit. The filters are about $25 and only last about 35-40 gal. That gets expensive. Thanks.

TANEMONEBUFF Thanks for your and LordNikon's knowledge on this mess. Seems that you are up on your statement because the algae appears to be mostly on the base rock. The snails aren't going to be any help, because they were there all the time. Yea, I'll be picking grass awhile. Thanks again.

and more pics

Here are some pics. Hope they help.

Yep, local LFS want $26.00. I want gladly pay that, if he would eat the algae. But , so far, I have never bought anything that did what it was suppose to do. Pep. shrimp(anemone control), crabs and all. I will post pics of the algae soon.

My 20g nanoreef is 9 months old and algae is going to start me to drink. I am getting some kind of grass on my LR. I added some base rock about 3 months ago and it is getting on it also. It even gets in the corner of the tank. The rock turns green and then here comes the grass. It doesn't look...

This grass that was in one of your links looks exactly like mine. Chlorodesmis fastigiata. http://www.wetwebmedia.com/greenalg.htm

Thanks for your help with the search. I have had red slime algae before and it was not like this. All water test have been great for months now and the red is exactly like the green. This green grass, for lack of another description. started growing just a day or so after I put the live rock in...

But does hair algae come in the color red also? I've never seen hair algae , until maybe now. If it is, what do you do for it. I have been running PC lighting until yesterday, when I changed to MH.

It feels almost like fine nylon strings of the same length. There is also some red of the same in the tank. It is not sectional nor brittle. It has a smooth fill on the side of the blades. It you put your hand down on it, it feels kinda like a 1/2 inch hair cut.

This grass, Macro algae I think, started as some as I put live rock in this tank over 8 months ago. It is getting thicker and thicker and new patches starting on different rock. It is kinda stiff to touch. I believe hair algae is finer. I'm not sure about that tho. Can someone tell me what it is...

purchased frags from Garf? If so, did you get a deal and was you satified?

Nice response and I appreciate it.
