Ok, its came to the point now where I want to totaly get out of this hobbie. I bought a 37g tank and lights, stand, ect.. I had my 16g and algea was so frustrating. Now I have algea everywhere in my 37g. People say use RO water and cut the light time down and the algea will go away within a couple days to a week. Well I have done that and I also did that in my 16g and nothing. I keep getting algea on my sand and almost anything I put in my tank dies, except my <>< , snails, crabs, and anenome. It seems like my crabs dont clean the algea on the sand and my snails dont feel like eating the algea on the glass. All my levels are good. I do regular top offs with RO water and do water changes every 2 weeks. I also cut back my feeding to every other day. Also my freakn madin hair. I think I may just pull the piece out an freakn sand blast it to get it all off. I am getting so frustrated and I know its all part of saltwater, but it seems like what ever I do, nothing helps. I may just call it quits in the next month I nothing goes well. If anyone could give me a couple points that would be greatly appriciated.

I add PH buffer every 3 days. I will go ahead on my next water change, pull the rocks out and scrub the hell out of them and and syphon some of the crud on the sand. What I am going to do is just let my tank ride for all of June with normal tops offs, water changes, ect. I realy love this hobbie and want to stay in it.

When I got into this I new that there where going to be alot of things that I would learn and on how to deal with them. Also knowing that patience was the name of the game. I figured I could do it since my patience is very high. I guess it wasn't high enough for this. But I plan on sticking through it and cant wait for the outcome. I am talking everyones advice and I plan on sticking around. If it comes down to it, I will just have a LRFO tank.

Beaches:Sure whats the name of it.

Thats what I have come ro realize. So thats why I am just going to let me take ride for the month of June and do my normal RO top off and 2week water changes. Normal feeding of every 3 days. I also just bought a AquaC EV-90 Protein Skimmer and thats the last thing I plan on buying until things start to go well. Right now I have no skimmer running and hopefuly when I add this new one it will help out.
