    new and have a few questions and pictures

    Hello I have a 28 gal, nano cube and it has been set up about 2 months. Everything is testing well and my corals are growing well. I have a bit of red stuff growing on my live rock and I am not sure what it is. It is bright red and it flows like a flame in the current. Here is a picture. Well I cant figure out how to post a picture.

    Hello and welcome to RS.

    Not all but "most" new tanks go through a (or more) algae cycle. It's not required but it's more common than not. This "Red Flame Stuff" could be a heavy Cyano Bacteria growth or many other things. Work on that picture and we'll go from there.

    Again welcome to RS

    Take nothing from the sea unless it is plentiful.
