 Trouble with alage in 30 gal FOWLR I have a FOWLR with a Valentini, coral beauty,lawnmower blenny and shrimp goby. I've been trying everything to try to get rid of the algae in my tank. Done weekly water changes, a couple of red slime treatments. I just can't get rid of it. It comes right back within a few days of a water change. I use RO/DI water. I'm open for any suggestions. Thanks  |

| Re: Trouble with alage in 30 gal FOWLR Listing all of your water parameters that you test for and how old your light bulbs are will help finding your problem area.

| Re: Trouble with alage in 30 gal FOWLR Algea dont well under lower lights. Only whene you change a bulb or increase the lighting then algea blooms can show. Your water flow is much more important then lighting and then yes your readings . JSYK Quote:
