I figured you hadn't been doing this for too long since you didn't know what that algae was. I suppose I just wanted to put forth that there aren't that many "cut'n dry" answers in this hobby.

The bottom line is to create what you want from your tank. Enjoy!

that i get but i have had such an issue with a brown orange algae that i just cannot get rid of. my ph is a little high now but i have had this problem since i added my fish. this makes me off to any algae right now.

your tank will go through various algae cycles in it's infancy. Just relax and enjoy the ride

Also say relax but as for Valonia I think it's generally accepted to be in the nuisance algae category. If after looking into Valonia and you decide it's something you deliberately want in your tank, I'm sure there's lots of reefers out there that will offer some.
