    well its been about 5 month since my last time here because i've been a little mad. why? because i got a moveing away sale from someone in my town and got about 15 pounds of liverock for 10 dollars. good deal right? wrong. the rock was s***. it destroyed my tank. algae of every kind was every were. i even resorted to bombing it with algae medicine to no prevail. so i went to the local car wash and powered trough every one of the rocks. now i moved to a 40 gallon cube tank from the same guy::) and so far its going ok. i'l put up a pic soon.

    terrible news hddoutside
    you just got unlucky IMO
    Maybe these algaes where dormant in his tanks due to low nutrient levels but when moved to your tank, something fueled them and they took off
