Something lurking
Last night while the night lights were on I noticed some white furry legs coming out of the bottom of the rock and they were fairly big any tips on how to find this thing? I put food infront of the hole and out came what looked like a crab?!?!? Arm and scooped it up... Whatever it is I can't ge a good view of it because it's dark and close to th sand bed

A 10 gallons aquarium is way too small for a banghai cardinal. Chances are he won't live very long.
If you have a lot of algae growing then your nitates and phosphates are surely not at zero. Put some GFO in there and that will help. I would return the banghai and put some fish that are suited for a 10 gallons. A dartfish could work, and maybe one clownfish. You can't put too many fish in there because they might die from lack of oxygen especially if you have no sump and no skimmer.

NO3 and PO4 can read 0 even if they are present. The algae will use them up so the levels are not detectable by the test kits. Regular water changes should help take care of it.

That's probably better. Stability is always best with a nano as the parameters can swing so easily.

What did I get myself into?
Cyanobacteria sucks. Cant black out the tank cause the corals will die, and ive tried to suck it up but it grows fast. Almost all of it grows in behind the rockwork where I cant get anything in there. Ive got a small HOB for flow and a koralia 1 powerhead, maybe i should buy a small koralia nano powerhead and point it down in behind the rocks? The bigger powerhead is pointing upwards and to the center of the glass.
Seems like its all a dead spot in behind the rocks. Lots of frickin work on a nano tank... Plus I put some chemi-pure elite in the hob a couple weeks ago, rinsed it off on the last water change, and it spewed brown stuff all over the frickin place sand looks like sh!t. I sucked most of it out but wow what did I get myself into?!?!!?
