It sure looks like my tank when I had a diarom bloom at the end of my cycle. I added some snails and hermit crabs and it was gone in days. I have not seen any sense then.

Thats what i was thinking i added 7 blue legged hermits and 1 scarlet hermit crab and 2 astrea snail (pardon my spelling). So i guess theyll help things out. Also on the new live rock i got it looks like i may have glass anemones any advice on ridding myself of those little buggers.
