I read the thread about algae on glass by dermp and realized that I have similar problems.
I have a 125 w/ about 150lbs of live rock, maybe a dozen or so SPS's and 5 fish (2 Chromis, 1 Clown, 1 Blenny, 1 Gramma)
Tank was set up 7 months ago, running 4x96w PC for lighting 10 hours a day.
Feeding once per day usually meaty food but occationally flakes.
Water changes are done with water from Spripps Aquarium, however top off water is from the tap. (I know, I cringe when I write it)
My biggest problem is green/brown algae on the glass. I am scrapping almost every other day.
What would help the tank prosper?
More or less lighting? RODI for top off? Different feeding regimen? Different or addition specimens?
AS always, all help is greatly appreciated?
Bob
