I have problems with algae, they cover the whole bottom of the tank in 2 to 3 days after I vacuum it when I do water changes. The whole entire crushed coral bottom gets basically black in color. What can I do stop this algae taking over of the whole bottom. Also will changing the bottom to sand, ( really fine sand ) help in cutting this algae build up? Any recomendation will be greatly appreciated.
