algae grow on the glass

[ganjero]

do you guys get a lot of algae grown on the glass? I'm not talking about coralline, I'm taking about the brown stuff.

My snails do a good job keeping the glass clean. I do use my magfloat occasionally on the front glass.

I have to do a lot cleaning every weekend

what kind of water are you using? increase your clean-up crew. nitrate/phosphate check?

 

[ganjero]

RO/DI water. Nitrate is at 0 and Phosphate is at 0 too, but most people say that phosphates test kits are never accurate, so I just added a phosphate reactor to see if it helps. I think I might have phosphates cause one of my acros browned.

[ganjero]

a lot, about 6400 gph in a 50 gallon
