I have set up a 55 gal tank with about 50 lbs of base rock and several peices of seed rock. I have a 450 w metal halide light running. I have a protein skimmer and a bio wheel filter. I noticed several areas of purple algae starting to appear. At the recommondation of the LFS, I have been adding purple up to my tank. The tank has been running for about 3 weeks and I am starting to get a lot of yellow hairy looking algae on everything including the sides of the tank. It seems to be taking over. Is this normal, or is there something I should do. My light runs for 10 hours Noon - 10pm.
Thanks for any help....
