Possible Algea Problem

[dwdenny]

Well I think I have a problem very early on!!! :( I added some pics below that I think might have bryopsis plumosa :sick but not sure. I know the pics are not all that great but I can see some feathering on the algea stalks up high. Any way here is the best pic I could get before my son went to bed. Still learning how to take pics with this camera.

Anyone what should I do?

I am not so sure that is bryopisis... bryopsis that i have seen is thick and tough...

do you have any algae grazers in the tank?

do you have a cleanup crew yet? i would remove as much as possible manually.. what are your nitrates at? do you have a good system for nitrate removal

That is good I think I am going to go get a small CUC for now and see what happens. I went by two of the local stores and they did not have any snails just blue legged hermits at one. Will be calling a place in Harlingen and see what they have. Nitrates and Nitrites are undetecable and I just tested 2 days ago. There is 12lbs of liverock in there now but I was planning on adding rubble in the back chambers as well as carbon but I have to order online as the places around here don't have any.

Looks like plain old hair algae to me. I have tons of it and my clean up crew along with the lettuce nudibranch are knocking it out. Im getting a sea hare tomorrow as well.

I second the lettuce nudi's
