I think I went through every algae known to man in the first few years... but then it finally stabilized and I haven't had any issues in years. I did make the switch to the LED lights though right when I got it. Good luck!

Aww thanks! I learned a ton and had a blast, but need to give it a rest for a few years.

Getting out sale. Moving and need gone this weekend ideally. 29 gallon Biocube that has been up since 2014. Two clowns that have been in the tank since 2014 and lay eggs fairly frequently. Male has a pop eye that he's had for years but seems healthy. They eat anything from frozen to pellets. LED light upgrade, moon lights, all softies (GSP, kenya tree, pink star polyps, etc). Very stable tank. Comes with matching black Biocube stand in great shape, small sink size RODI, all equipment. Located in the Manassas/Woodbridge area. Not interested in parting out. $150 Thank you!

Yes it isn't exactly taking over anything at this point. I think I can keep an eye on it and then see what happens. Appreciate all the info and advice! As always now I'm much more informed.

Hmm ok. It's growing super super slow and is on a rock near the surface. Should I just try the peroxide drops when I change the water? Read about that as one possible treatment to get rid of it.

Lol.... My fancy detective work...

Thanks!! Looking at macro algae, it kind of looks like the red Ogo but seems spikier/more pointy...

Hi everyone, For a few weeks now I've noticed this dark maroon spiky thing growing slowly on top of a rock. It's pretty small, maybe just over a half an inch total in width now. It's softer, not hard, but doesn't retract if you poke at it. Any ideas what this is? Thanks! Rain

Thanks! I've actually now had my tank up over a year and it's doing great. Love the hobby!

Thanks! This thread was from a year ago so I'm set now. My tank is doing great thankfully.

My MP10 arrives tomorrow. Woohoo!

Very cool. Thanks Tony!!

Sounds good. Is there a recommended setting for it with the biocube? Or just try a few til everything looks happy?

Great to know! Feeling better about pulling the trigger.

Thanks!! Feeling like the MP-10QD is the way to go.
