    Personally, I think the tank looks really healthy. Some algae is okay for the tangs(for now)... remove the tangs & remove the algae with your hands/a toothbrush. Switch to RODI water if you haven't.

    Sounds good to me. The only thing is your salt is a bit high. Clean up that algae though. That's why you have no nitrates. It(along with your macro) is eatin' 'em! :)

    Do you have bubbles that get trapped under the algae and/or snot like strings comming from it?
