Are you happy with your current saltwater setup?

[DiverDude]

I'm a solid 'NO'.

I got this 30 gal as a test. I rationalized that if I could keep a small amount of livestock alive, healthy and happy then I'd get a bigger tank.

Well, the tank I bought came with a Hair Algae problem and while I seemed to have it licked for a little while but it came back and I have tried everything to get rid of it -no luck.

I'm stuck now. I've decided the rock is to blame (sure, blame inanimate objects for your failures...) so now I'm torn as to if I should shut down, replace the rock and keep the tank, or go to the bigger tank and put 1/2 new rock and this rock -but only after I've boiled it.

I'm in for over $2k on this ****y little 30 gal so I'm thinking long and hard about upsizing when I couldn't even manage this little tank. IF the rock really is to blame then I'd be ok, if not, I'm just enlarging the size of my problem.
