cyno?

Tap water is probably your problem, I know my tap water has 20 ppm nitrates in it, so that is feeding the algae. If it's cyno, which it looks like it could be, I would cut back on feedings and you should really invest in a RO/DI unit or buy some water from your LFS. Installing a refugium really helped my cyno problem. I have had cyno and fought it many times and the best things to do are to cut back on lighting time, at least daylights, cut back on feedings, increase flow and when you do water changes, suck as much as you can out. Good luck.

thanks, but a wierd thing is i have a power head blowing a a pump for my skimmer and its hitting it directly and algae is sill growing like crazy there

 

im going to take more pictures also to show how much it grows in a one day span

 

how about a tap water filter

 

removal (cuc or manual) + nutrient export (wcs, macro, or chemical) = you win the battle

 

tap water is likely the cause of the growth. It has a lot of nutrients in it that algae love. Are you growing any macro algae in your fuge to compete? I would invest in an RO unit as soon as you're able.

If you start changing out the water with RO water the algae will eventually burn itself out, but if you keep feeding it in the form of nutrient-laden tap water, it will be happy and keep growing, making you unhappy.

Good luck!
