Insted of xenia try athenia it grow a bit slower and some one said to me that as soon as they put some in their tank the red algae went away, so it may help with that also.

Thanks for all of the advice! I really appreciate it. I cannot believe how addicting this hobby is, I am already considering using my tax refund to invest in a larger tank! I am considering something around the 90 Gallon mark... not exactly nano lol but just thought I would put it out there.

It is super addicting. I started off with a 24g and jumped to a 90g only 4 months later. I did end up going back to a smaller tank and selling my 90g but that was only because I had to have the 90g in my basement where I couldn't enjoy it.

Out of curiosity what kind of fish did you have in the 90G? I would love to have a small predator tank maybe a lionfish or something in there... but I definitely need to do more research.

No predators in mine. I had a Kole Tang, Fat Head Anthias, Bicolor Blenny, Pair of Clowns and a Bellus Angel.

I still am not sure which route I am going to go, it requires much more research to be done first. I am a huge fan of the lion fish, but compatibility wise there is hardly anything. Triggers seem extremely aggressive and that will be something I am going to pass on either way. I think maybe instead of doing a large tank like that I will invest in something like a 50 gallon and use the money I save to turn the tank into a Larger Reef tank with a couple clowns or something simple like that.
