Huge Algae Problems that i need to resolve.

What kind of water are you using since you're not using RO water?

 

Hope it helps and good luck

 

Food and Lighting are the main causes. (assuming that you are using RO/DI water)

My tank had some minor algae problems but ever since i was missing a chromis my algae has been growing pretty fast. I looked everywhere for it.

I have been doing 30% water change every week hoping to offset anything thats dead.

Just need to feed less and cut down the lights a bit.

You can try a UV filter and see it if it helps.

 

it would be a lawnmower blenny's dream.depending on what kind of corals are you keeping? lighting i know it cost. but i think a good T5 system would work well for you.keep in touch with us and if you could as well have a water test done and send us what you got

 

I saw that you are using hallogen bulbs...What spectrum? Do you have any other lighting?

 

i buy the water, the local fish store sells 5 gallons of cleaned water, they r/o it. I have a "Corallife aqualife Pro Metal Halide Aquarium Light Fixture" it has one 150 watt 10k hqi metal halide lamp and two 65watt 03 actinic compact florescent lamps. I did consider buying a lawnmower but the ones i saw around here were much to weak to be moved to a different tank.

 

All lawnmower blenny's don't eat GHA. Mine has not eaten ANY of it, I've even trimmed it so it's not long. He does not care about it.
