My 150 gallon tank has been doing great! until two days ago.
It seems as the tank just exploded with this red/brown Algae, Not sure what is going on?
Water levels like Ph, Ammonia, etc. are perfect and Salinity is at 1.026.
there was only 2 changes.
1 I added a 2nd Actinic Light, so to transition into a moon light, 48 in Reef Sun and Actinic light turn off and the other Actinic light comes on, then the moon LEDs after the single Actinic light goes off.
2 Made a mistake and listened to another person, did not do my own research and bought a Sebae Anemone (blue tip), Read some very worrying articles, but read that they can expel their symbiotic Algae, this one is a beautiful White Like fluorescent green and was that way when I got it. I know now that this is normally tan or brown. But could this be the Algae issue?
Food I am Using: Frozen Krill, Blood Worms, Nutrafin Max Flake, and Kent MicroVert
I am Running a ZooMed 48" Dual T5 one Ultra Sun (Super Daylight) and Coral Sun Actinic (420) , Home Depot fluorescent Fixture with 48" T5 Single Coral Sun Actinic (420), and Blue LED Moon Lights,
The Anemone is doing better, actually starting to get some tanish hue to its tenticles.
Not using RO, Live Rural, Not municipal water, using API Stress Coat+ for water fill and Changes.
What could this Be?
Thanks
