Need Help with Algae

[BlackBeardPete]

Maybe a new aquascape, i have a few clowns that like to sleep near the overflow, no matter what i do they prefer that over any rbta...so i know what you talking about

Just so you know, that naso will outgrow your tank rather quickly.

They get a little over a foot in length.

Well, the Lawnmower Blenny and One-Spot Foxface made it through shipping. The Nasso Tang was almost DOA but now, after 1 hr, is full DOA. Will seek a refund from Vivid Aquariums.

Wow, the Lawnmower Blenny is amazing. He is really an algae chow hound!

My tank also has Pukani from BRS, I acid washed and pressure washed my rocks as well. The only bad thing about pukani is it leaches tons of phosphates for the first 6-8 months of it being in the tank.

In hind sight I should have cured the rock in a barrel first but the reality is I didn't so the phosphates just leached into my DT, the rocks were clean for the first 2-3 months like you had and then boom green algae.

I'm glad to hear that the lawnmower blenny is starting to get the algae under control.

I just wanted to let you know that I guarantee that the rock is most likely feeding the algae

So how did you get rid of the algae?
