I'm fed up with this algae problem so if someone wants to work on this with me i will be very grateful. I have algae everywhere and Today i did a water change with some RO water i bought from the store 35 cents a gal is pretty good isn't it? anyways i have been reading more than accomplishing. This is a reasonably new tank about 4 months after the cycle. when i gravel vac i seem to suck more sand than algae that isn't good.
i do water changes every Friday about 10 gal I'm going to start doing them with RO water now. here's the setup 55gal tank one 250 wat heater one double carbon filter (hob) three power heads not sure of gph , a double pc light fixture 110w one reg. fluorescent light fix with one moon light and one reg f light. 80w and about 10pounds of live rock 2 inches of sand bed half ls half crushed coral thanks to anyone who wants to help... ill take pics of changes if anyone helps.
