    What size is your tank? What are yojur parameters?

    You can take out all the rock and scrub it or soak it I n bleach for a few dayson two seperate occassions and let it dry. Then soak it in ro/di water a couple days and let it dry a few days. Scrape the glass and suck out the water and do a major water change for starters.

    Its not Droid, it's me fishies.

    So I would have to type everything I have in my tank for everthing I write? Or can I just click some button it will say Type: And i would write all my livestock, water parameters, ect then press save and every time I write something it would have it under my thread or what ever I wrote. Sort of like this (the part in blue not he link).

    This is a duplicate posting:

    Help me horrible algea problem!!

    Can you tell us about your tank so we can help you. Please include tank size, water parameters, livestock in it, amount of live rock, filters being used, etc.

    The more you can tell us, the better we can assist.


    _________

    My 1st SW build (7-31-10): 55 FOWLR - Marineland Magnum 350 canister filter - 100# soon to be live Fiji rock - 40# live sand

    If you can do that how do you?

    Moray Eel, the part in blue you copied is my signature, and anyone can make one, but let's worry about your algae problem first. We need to know:

    How many gallons your tank is?
    What are your levels for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, PH?
    Do you use live rock, and if so how many pounds do you have?
    What fish do you currently have?
    What filters do you use?

    Once we know these things we can help you fix the problem. As for the signature, I am more than happy to help you with that as well, but as I said, let's get the algae removed.

    You should get those kits. You should also get phosphates.



    ....I just looked at the picture. Your best bet is to remove that algae manually, and do a large water change. You need the kits, too.

    Phosphate is 0.25? or PH. If that's what you got for PH i think you performed the water test incorrectly.
