Hey guys,

I'm running my tank around 3 months now. It's a Red Sea max nano with a ReefLed 50 at around 65% blue and 10% white.
Po4: 0.03 - 0.05mg / L
No3: 3mg/L

In the last few weeks, more and more smaller algae hot spots have appeared. Basically no major problems except some bubbles on my Euphyllia and some (diatoms?) on the sand for some weeks.

Should I worry, especially about the Euphyllia?

Should I better just wait and let the tank mature or at least remove some algea from the Euphyllia?

Thanks in advance,
Tschonas

You will want to remove the bubble algae from the euphyllia plug. That's not part of the new tank uglies... that stuff will get out of control quickly.

The rest...siphon out what you can, blow off the rocks with a turkey baster. Keep your nitrates around 5ppm and po4 around .05 - 0.1ppm while the tank matures more.

That's what i would do...
