    There are no fish in the tank b/c we had one come down with ICK and only one survived and he is in a quarntine tank right now. We have 5 corals, 2 feather dusters in there now. We changed the lighting about a month and a half ago to start the reef. The algae started about 4 weeks ago and keeps spreading. Not sure what it is or how to get rid of it. All the levels test fine in the tank. Thank you
    The tank is 150 gal
