Algae Problem!!!

[sweetheart]

I just recently moved to a new house, and had to save some saltwater for my tank so I wouldn't have to recycle it again. It's a 29 gallon aquarium, with a TP Clown, Yellow Watchman Goby, and two snails. For some reason I have ALOT of brown hairy algae all over my rocks. The snails have cleared a tiny bit, but not enough. What can I do?

I'm confused. DId you just move the tank or did you set up a new tank with old water?
the old water does nothing to prevent a recycle. Even moving the tank can cause enough of a disturbance to cause a recycling. What are your parameters? It is likely just as if the tank is new, and you have the traditional algae bloom period.

I resetup the tank with the old water. I just tested my water...
Ammonia:0ppm
Nitrite:0ppm
High PH: 8.8

Just been through all this. It will probably go away as the detritus gives way to new algea after being stirred up. just keep your tank params. normal and it will go away naturally...no worries
