Algae growning on my sand bed ?

hey everyone i got a 150 gallon tank and i got a algae growing all over my sand bed. anything i can do to help with this. I justed ordered a cleaning crew here is what i ordered the top of the sand bed turn into big clumops if you try to move it.


25 Assorted Hermits*
3 Emerald/Ruby Mithrax Crab*
45 Florida Cerith
34 Nassarius Vibex
10 Nerite Snails (Small - Medium)
19 nerite Snails (Large)
75 Dwarf Cerith
1 Red Gracilaria and cheata algae for a refugium

 

how old is your tank? if is new, is diatom blooming. It will go away by itself in 2-3 weeks.

 

thats a big clean up crew nice! May need to adjust flow?

 

the tank itself is 6-8 month old

 

i got a pretty good flow going throw the tank for some reason it wont let me post any pic on here Is it there a such thing as to big of clean up crew or is this a over kill ????

 

Go to ReefClearners.org. Look at their nuisance algae section and the recommended CUC for your size tank and your algae issues.
