Welcome to RB! That alage is probably cyno, do a search for cyno algae or look at the "getting started" forum.

Welcome to RB. How's Sunny Fla? I moved from the Clearwater/ Tarpon Springs area around 11 years ago. Hope you enjoy the forums. Looking forward to pics of your tank.

thanks for the input. I have 4 turbo snails & 2 blue leg hermits & they seem to be slowly eating it,what ever that brown alge is it seems to only grow on the non living objects.(glass & dead rocks,etc.)I live on the east coast of fla,vero beach(zero beach)so i do alot of diving and i really want to make a nice reef tank. Don't worry i never take anything out of the ocean or reefs(only pics) i want my kids to see it and enjoy it when the grow up! As soon as i get more pics i'll post them.
