Algae Control

[jdan5]

I have a 72 Gallon tanks with 90 #s of live rock that has been running for ~2 years. Over time, algae has been building up and I am trying to control this better. I've tested the water and have low <2.5 Nitrates and 0 Phosphates.
I have a weak clean up crew and have started to replenish. Recently I was on-line and saw an ad to API's Algaefix Marine.
Has anyone used or heard of this product before? If so, what were your results or what have you heard?

I also have a 72 bowfront, I had the same problem with algae, I used this chemical and saw absolutley no results. What got rid of the algae was lowering the hours of my lighting schedule, not over feeding and using RO water for top offs. It is a real pain, but that chemical did me no good. Maybe someone can chime in with differant results, but it was a waste of money for me. You really need to find the source of the problem, then you can attack it.

Algea comes and goes. I would most definately look into your feeding habits. Feeding at a lessor rate really can make the improvements. However, there are days I look in my tank and see some hair algea, then other days I see it is gone.
In reality you never fully irradicate the algea from your tank. You just keep it in check.
You can make adjustment to your lights, but I would just try to feed less if you can.
