Ok so as many know my tank is pretty mature. Been up for three years +. To this dy I still cannot seem tO keep algae out of my tank and off my glass.
I'm doing everything right (so I think but obviously not). Here's my regimen
Monthly water changes 20-30%
I run bio pellets in a fluidized reactor
I run gfo and carbon in line with ech other
Nitrates and phosphates are undetectable using API
2-250 watt mh radium 20k bulbs (3 months old)
My skimmer is a euro reef rc4 or something like that. Thing is 7 feet tall and rated for 1500 gallons.
Bare bottom sump
Tds reads 96 ppm in and 000 out.
I feed flake once a day and pellets twice. Feed frozen once a week
Why do I keep gettng insane amounts of algae on glass and rock. All my coralline disappeared and rock is green. Lost almost all sps except one colony of green stag. I'm ready to give up
