I strongly agree --- do not use any chemicals. Good husbandry will take care of this issue -- time is your friend.

obviously its controversial... but it works, just learned what causes it... (TAP WATER) and don't use tap water ever again. problem solved

Tap water isn't the only thing that causes an algae bloom though. And there are plenty of people who use tap water who don't have algae bloom, because they compensate through other practices (plus, tap water varies from region to region). So I wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet.

that is true, so I should't, there could be other variables

Wow, lol ok a bit of controversial views im not sure the brands and specs as I got them used at the LFS with out boxes and papers ect. but let me see if I can find a brand for the skimmer as everything else is fairly small and minuscule ( old 30gallon filters I had just used them as a supplement filtration now). anyways I think this is my skimmer model, looks closest and sized around the same as mine http://www.marineandreef.com/Coralife_65_Skimmer_Coralife_Super_Skimmer_65_p/res33000.htm I have about 50 lbs of LR and about 3-4 inches of LS not sure the lbs. Thanks
