I have a consistent growth of brown first, now green algae in my tank, mainly covering the live sand and alittle on the glass, nothing on the live rock. I left this weekend and come home to find alot of green algae growth on the sand, the protein skimmer is working and both pumps are working, the fish don't look stressed but it's just ugly....I have 1 hermit crab and 1 turbo snail along with 2 fish in the tank.....the tank is 5 weeks old and in the process of installing the skimmer i lost about 2.5 gallons of water and was replaced with distilled bottled water.....does anyone have any ideas how to decrease the amount of algae growing? :help:
