    Same here, but my Tomini tang loves to fight the flow and go for the good stuff :) He doesn't make it go 100% away, but definitely keeps it in check. And it's entertaining.

    I get the same as well, but my turbos and yellow tang usually keep it in check. I also get it on my return outlets, as I have them slightly above water level then bending back into the water (stops the syphon).

    Check your overflow. I reached down in there a few weeks ago and pulled out a massive glob of GHA, and then proceeded to send a few snails that way...

    Well I ended up soaking mine in vinegar and fresh RO/DI for about 2-3 hours. Then scrubbed the heck out of them. It's been close to 2 weeks, and there is no sign of new growth! So I'm definitely recommending this as to slow down the growth and one less maintenance chore I have to do on a regular basis.
