If you have no generator I would at least get a battery powered air pump. Have her every couple of hours move the water off the top with a cup. Dip the cup in and pour back in. Oxygen would be my main concern along with the temp. This should help some. Good Luck!

I have a 29 Biocube and have 12 crabs, 12 snails, a fire shrimp, a pistol shrimp, 2 clown fish and a six line wrasse. I also have a torch coral, frogspawn, asst. zoa's and ric's. A colt coral, star poly's and a kenya tree. The 12 crabs and 12 snails have done a remarkable job of cleaning up.

Get the Sapphire Aquatics...Mine has been doing wonders.

How big is your clean up crew? I increased my clean up crew and the hair algea was gone in a week. I've tried everything before that including Sea Hares, Emerald Crabs ect. My clean up crew had to be increased.

I was having the same problem keeping things in balance......B-Ionics fixed that. My Cal. and Alk. stays balanced and I only use B-Ionics once a week. Just my 2 cents.

I moved mine up in the tank for more light and placed a power head blowing across him. Man what a difference. He is growing like wildfire.

I use Kent Tech - I. I have had very good luck with this product and use it every week at half dose. My Zoa's and other corals love the stuff. It is time released and I can't seem to test for it in the tank. The bottle says that you might not be able to see it on a test. Everything is much more...

Walgreens has them
