HELP -- Algea problem

[nano10]

I've gone in a Pulled it out by hand before but it just grows back worse thats why i would like to have something that would eat it, Whats the smallest tank anyone put a flame angle in? i think a single one in a ten would look cool. I do plan on upgrading in September when i move but i want to enjoy my tank too.

Everything I used was not able to eat it fast enough. The list is somthing like:
emerald crabs
urchins
yellow tang
I never noticed my emeralds crabs eating it but everyone claims they do. DO you have a sump you could put the rock in without light? I would do that and swap out the live rock or just wait until you upgrade and put any contaminated rock in a lightless sump for a month, and then back into the tank.

Maybe the better question to answer is "What does Grape Calurpa need to grow"?

PH4, NO3, other nurients? Old Lights?

The best way of getting rid of something for good is to find out way its growing in the first place and get rid of the source.

I don't know what Grape Calurpa needs for growth. Perhaps someone here could help out in that area.

In the meantime, could you post your PO4 and NO3 levels, how much you are feeding, what you are feeding, and how often?

Thanks
