    I don't like it either. It has not gotten worse but it is not getting any better. It is slimy greenish algae. None of the CUC touches it. I made a mistake of not nuking the dry rock. The interesting part is that it does not grow in the live rock that came from the biocube.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    It looks very similar to dinoflagellates is the reason for my concern. Dino stings get longer as the lighting period increases during the day and it develops sm bubbles as well.

    Hopefully if it is not getting worse or you see no adverse side effects it will just pass as the tank ages.

    I like your zoanthids and BTA's. :)

    You are right about the six line. It bosses every new fish to an extreme. I put a lawnmower blenny in there and the six line is not leaving him alon for a sec. I am tired of it already. That fish got to go.

    Update on my 90 Gallon

    The tank has been stable for a little while now and there are a few updates.
    I added a few fish.
    Kole tang
    2 cleaner shrimp
    mandarin goby
    algae blenny
    and diamond goby
    I lost the atlantic blue tang :cry: and removed the six line wrasse.
    I also added a few sps frags.
    I traded my skimmer for an Aquav120 skimmer that I can put in my sump.
    Added 2 dosing pumps to dose 2 part.
    I will post some pictures once my camera gets charged in the mean time here is a youtube video
    Enjoy
