You need to play with the skimmer a little bit until you find the the right water level and bubble production. With the aptasia you need to get rid of it as soon as possible before it spreads too much, that's an awful pest that if not under control, it can overrun your tank pretty much. The white things could be calcium deposits?

I wouldn't worry too much about the skimmer. You say there's no livestock yet, only rockwork, so there's probably not much left to skim after it removed the stuff stirred up from moving the tank.

[Craigdillman]

are the white things pods? if you look real close they could be.

[pinkreef]

nice if you have pods already, if you watch them closely you will see them move around

Is there only one aiptasia? If so, do yourself a giant favour and remove the entire rock it's on. Then blow torch the hell out of the aiptasia in it's hiding hole until there is literally nothing moist left where it was attached.

Once the aiptasia starts to spread to other rocks (and it will do so VERY quickly) your options for eradicating them completely dwindle rapidly.

Awesome, thanks for the info

Now just out of nowhere I have this real deep red/burgundy algae looking stuff to grow. What should I do about it?
