Why so much algae?

[saltyfilmfolks]

The LFS quite likely sells rodi water. if they say tap is fine, find another lfs.

Also to add to what everyone else is saying, you said your salinity is 1.022, you should raise it to at least 1.024, I keep mine at 1.025

Looks like a normal Noob tank to me. Give it time. Maybe go out to dinner.

Also, you need a LOT more live rock

So really if with perfect conditions will always have algae as long as i dont us ro water but wont affect coral right?

 

[Stuart Willis]

the corals won't like the chemicals that are in tap water
We all get algea problems at one time or another
I feel you are gonna have more than your fair share if you always use tap water

 

[Keith607]

Adding a protien skimmer help?

 

[Stuart Willis]

basically try get a rodi unit and not use straight tap water

 

[Fishfinder]

Yes the tap water will affect coral. They won't like it
