If you keep your lights on for long periods durring the day I'd recomend shortening to only 6 hrs a day or less while the algea is such great amounts

Ya I recently shortened the photo period my MH was on, they are now on for 6hrs a day. The algae pictured in number 2 is definitely feather caulerpa cause it was growing on a runner. I picked off all of this feather caulerpa,the other caulerpa, neomeris annulata, and scrubbed pretty much every rock off with a toothbrush and plan on picking up an emerald crab and some turbo snails. Also why is it bad to use distilled water? I have a little distiller that boils the water and then it condenses it and it just collects in a container. I am saving up for a RO/DI but don't know how soon I will be able to get one.

As far as I know distilled water and rodi water are both the same in the end however distilled water is a lot more expensive.
