URRR, well here are my complaints.
ok. hair algea, green algea, is groing everywere. And the only way to stop that is water changes right?? My freekin temp is spiking in the day everyday, crabs are dying. well tell me what you guys think about the hai algea, I will post a recint pick of the tank.
And to rocking, well give me a little to talk to these guys on here If the talk me out of it then sorry. lol.

well you could get a black spine urchin, they should help with your algae problem, just make sure your rocks are steady, and don't expect them to not eat your coraline either. but tis the price you pay.maybe move the tank to the basement? your in AZ, I can't believe that you dont have AC.... so maybe move it very near an AC unit?
No worries Yamaha. I would prefer you have a successful tank raher than me stealing all your hard earned live rock *PEACE!* If you change your mind though.....
As you know I'm new to salt, but one thing I've noticed from your pictures which could be contributing to an algae problem, is the location of your tank. It looks like it is next to a window which could mean the tank is getting too much light. This could also explain the fluctuating temps.
Just a thought mate.
Aresgod, Yamaha is in CA.

yeah I love AZ--the weather here is good 2 months outta the whole year--my tank hovers at a beautiful 85 degrees (max) in an AC'd, fanned room that gets a nice afternoon sunset
so what exactly would a low maintenance tank be? I'm a senior in high school this year, and I don't know what I'm doing next: community college (ouch) or maybe the Army (and then college)? Right now, my tank is pretty much low maintenance...I have some good coralline growth, but there are definetly some patches of hair algae that are outta control
