    Creating a bubble algae problem to get rid of dinos

    I’m running my tank at 82-83 degrees

    I know this is going to be controversial… I have a 13.5 Fluval and I’ve been running it at about 82 degrees. I’ve read that this can help cut down Dino’s growth. It seems to be helping. Any idea what long term effects of this increased temp may be? The corals seem fine but I could be doing...

    Over the last month or so I have seen spots red slimy stuff growing on my rocks and close to frags. This has been happening in high and low flow areas. I am guessing this could be a form of cyano which I brush and siphon out. Also, my sandbed and glass panels go brown with a stringy organism...
