Its an ongoing problem, I have delt with it for awhile there are some options that can help, lowering light time, limit feedings, and or moving powerheads around and experimenting with that, as well as purchasing a sand sifter species that may help (star fish, gobies, etc...) in time it should...

In a small system like a nano up to a 30g (thats my old tank) purple up can be used to help coraline thrive easily, whether or not its the actual product or the up in calcium it delivers is another story but with my 30g I had coraline spread very fast when using....

Yeah its the overflow, its also plumbed by PVC into the sump...its a flushing/gurgling sound...where do people put the straw inside the hole of the overflow going down into the sump?

I was having the same problem with diatoms on my sand (light brown ones) and i got a sand sifter star, with 2-2spot gobies, and a cleaner shrimp and so far so good...

Ok I have had a reef tank for over 2 yrs now but my dam overflow is way to loud, i used to put some poly pad in the overflow to shut it up (which it did until the poly pad got dirty and thus start makin noise again) but is there really any way to quiet it down...I have my overflow with U tube...

my suggestion is to put the algone packet in a vegi-clip and put it in an area in your tank where your powerheads are pointed, and depending on your tank size i would also put one in the sump, thats what i did with my 65 to help eliminate green algae bloom syndrome...but i was also running my...

if they smell like rotten eggs if you try taking them out than they are def dead i had that happen to me with the larger turbo/mex snails, thats why i get the smaller ones...sometimes you just get unhealthy snails, but it could also mean your water parameters are no right for their liking, when...

Research before buying, never trust LFS, always get a second or third opinion on something if you really want it, and never NEVER tank anyones used sand to use in your own tank...trust me on that one

Thanks everyone, Yea a UV sterlizer would have been a good investment but dunno if they really work on marine tanks with green algae remember this is not a common problem and no one really knows the root cause! I have a koi pond in my backyard which after the winter we attach a huge uv on it to...

My alk, ph and phos were all fluctuating from low to high , high to low....now they are all in perfect range...and a good sign that something wasnt right was inverts were just dying...but maybe also bc since i got a bigger skimmer i run it 24/7 and never did that before.....and i can have...
