45gal reef tank, no sump, no filter, Aqua C Remora HOB Skimmer

Unfortunately you'll probably keep getting more and more algae unless you can get your nutrients under control. 5 gallon water changes a month, and with that weak of a skimmer, i'm surprised it took this long to start having algae problems. What's your plan? What are your phosphate and nitrate levels?
 
Have you been able to feed your LMB? I've found a lot are very hard to feed and once all of the algae in the tank is gone they will starve themselves to death before eating anything you put in the tank

My nitrates and phos are under one, nothing out of the ordinary, this mainly happened because of no enough flow which an fixing slowly, I have plenty of patience, and I have not been able to pay attention as much as I would like as I mention above

Hey miguel just fyi your nitrates and phosphates will test low if algae is consuming them. More so phosphate. Most people with massive algae outbreaks have little to no detectable phosphate. Not saying you do, just wanted to make sure you knew that.
 
Lmao Johnny u can say in here whatever u want brother, and yes I knew that, like I said hopeful I will get more time for the tank coming September, it really sucks that I see it 5 minutes in the mornings and that's it
