Well, how cool is that! I have to remember way back when I got my very first salt water fish, very exciting isn't it? Stay on top of your water...
Hello Croc, no need to fret, let's figure this out. Post your entire set up. Do you have; Live rock, what type of substrate, filtering, everything...

Your tank is cycling. What are you using for the cycle? I take it that is "live" rock? Add some live bacteria at twice the marine dose, wait 3 days...
The problem here is you never had "true" actinic bulbs. You (and others) may call 460 nm "actinic" but in reality they are "Blue" bulbs. Now, you are...
That is a sweet deal. People have problems (or don't have problems) with almost every make and model. I would seriously consider getting it. My only...

O.k. You need a passport. A Veranda is preferable just for the leisure of sitting out, especially in the evenings. My wife and I have stuck with...
Interesting Curt, what are the potential problems? I was never told of any and never read of any, but since you say there may be problems, let me...

Both phosphate and nitrate contribute to algae problems. I do notice the tank water appears to be cloudy. Also, how old is the tank and lights.
I would see what your Alk is. What type of snail is it?
