Film Algee

[TUGBOATBRUCE]

Hey all --

Was wondering your thoughts -- My tank has never looked better with the exception of green film algee on the glass.

The only thing that I can think is that 2 weeks ago I did a 25 gallon water change (75 gallon soft coral tank) and went from a bare/crushed coral bottom to a sand bottom

Since than all my levels are on target, and I'm only feeding once a day

Any help or thoughts would be great.

Do you have a clean up crew? I find that turbo snail s do a pretty good job in keeping my glass clean.

Hi Bruce, waiting on pic, but in the mean time is any sun coming through the window getting to the tank. I have this problem even thou my window is at least 15' away. I wipe the glass down daily so it never gets past the begining stages. Just a thought.

Windows

That might be it..... But I'm tthinking that I might need to add to the clean up crew....But than again the (blinds 1/2 open) windows are about 10 foot away.

Mine are 15 feet away, and I don't pull my mimi blinds up at all. The blinds stay down, but they are open. I'm going to put up some sheers. Need to dress the windows anyway. Clean up crew won't hurt, but I have lazy cleaners. My hermits always get to them.
