Oh, so maybe the snails in my 150 BB with a big skimmer did starve.

Its all about removing the nutrients, by blasting the rock, properly designed flow, a big skimmer and good consistant husbandry!JMO.

There is a big difference between the demands of micro and macroalgae.

And leave the tank alone during the early stages. You have to give the tank time to cycle and not keep disrupting the tank during the cycle. the tank in question is not very mature. alot of the algae blooms are common and have to take place during the cycle.
