Questions - Need some input

I have questions that need answers.

  1. Bryopsis DOH! So I have a new question....

    So here I have finally discovered that the algae I have been fighting isn't hair algae or caulerpra toxifica but bryopsis instead . I know that the two main ways that people seem to fight this stuff is by raising the magnesium (not a fan of that idea with me actually keeping millepora alive for a change) and the other option a foxface rabbit fish.

    I am not scared of adding a foxface to the bioload of my tank as I am confident it won't make any noticeable dent in that but ...
  2. Hydrogen Sulfide???? a little advice needed! HELP...maybe

    I got home tonight from a little Irish Thanksgiving party (St. Patty's Day) and I walk in to a wall of what I am assuming (though hoping not) the smell of Hydrogen Sulfide in my house.... to clarify on why my nose may be playing tricks on me A. I have had sinus issues for the last 3 weeks and have been unable to smell anything and B. my wife is from Japan and sometimes she makes some things to eat that I refuse to put in my mouth.

    Currently I am running a 6 bulb t5 setup at 54 watts a piece on a 48' long 75 gallon that hand about 3" above the water. I have always wanted and have tried on a few occasions to keep your standard acropora and millepora with no positive results to report all parameters are reading good, nitrate, phosphate, ammonia, mag, calc, dkh but I keep reading that rapid bleaching (which is what I keep experiencing) is caused by too much light and too little light results in browning and discoloration. ...
  4. Tax time = equipment upgrade!

    For anyone who has not read any of my most recent posts (though most recent may still be a couple months old) I have been fighting with Caulerpa Toxifica and hair algae. I have done frequent water changes, water parameters check out good (with a test kit but I will hit on this subject again later), lighting is a few months old so still within spectrum, and I am close to hair falling out over the stress this is causing me lol. So now that everyone is caught up here is my thought process.

  5. rolling death in my tank a little help needed please!

    All my parameters seem fine, water changes have been occurring like normal, I seem to have what I can only describe as rolling death. It started in on tiny area of my tank I noticed a few of my blue clove polyps not opening up and that was about 4 days ago. Now it has spread out to about a 8-10 inch area and claimed my only acropora that was finally starting to show new signs of life yesterday it was fine and that area was untouched and today the acro is nothing but skeleton and the area continues ...
