Re: Algae, bloom over a few days
how do you control your phosphates? I've noticed if mine get out of hand the algae comes. Try to feed less and maybe add some carbon for a week or so. I have not used chemical mixes for algae and likely never will. snails and crabss do a good job as well as tangs if your tank is large enough. Even cutting down light time helps.
I just added a carbon sock to my overflow in the sump and that did wonders. The sock was 2 bucks and the carbon was 8 at Petco. Cheap easy fix, though the carbon can strip trace elements from the water so keep that in mind. |

Re: Algae, bloom over a few days
This is coming from a freshwater setup, but I used a UV sterilizer to get rid of my blooms. Not sure of the consequences of using one in a salt water setup.
