I'm new to the site(just registered). Typed out a massive list of details for my set up and when i sent it said thread not recognised and dissappeared!

Anyway, shorter version as it nearly midnight in the UK.

I have had the tank running over 4 months with excellent nitrate levels etc. Using RO water with 15% water chages once a week from the early days.

Have a few fish in there now but since shortly after the live rock went in, there has been a mat of thick green Algae over everything. If a gap develops then usually a little bit of slime Algae (Red or black) usually fills the gap.

I spend an hour or so once a week pulling lumps of Algae off the rocks and gravel!

Is this normal or is there a solution?

Help
