Beautiful looking tank. What is your hardware setup, lighting, filtration etc. tank parameters.

-50g tank with a 20g sump
-Nova Extreme pro 6x39 watz with all aqua science bulbs
2X22,000k
2x17,500k
2x15,000k
-Bubble magus 100 skimmer
- I manually does calcium, alk, and mag and i feed heavily. The biggest suprise of all is that i only use tap water and I have no alage growth with zero phosphates and zero nitrates.
- I do 10g water changes about every 2-3 weeks.
- Overall, its a pretty low tech tank which is about 1yr old and growing like a weed.

when i first put it in the tank it was the size of a deck of cards and brown. It eventually turned green and then the purple rim developed. It grows like a weed. I had to move it 3 times because it kept growing right to the surface.
