Help I have Grass

[momo]

First Post
Novice at this I have a 125 Gallon tank (2 Months old) with live Rock and various fish. The fish are doing great but .. I have all this green/brown grass flowing all ove my rocks and it seems to be getting worse. Also have the same algae on the backs of the snails. Understand algae on the glass this seems to come off pretty easy when I clean the glass. Also have a BTA that seems tempermental the clown fish seems to want to nothing with it. Any advice would be very heplful.

Thats a little odd as I would think the Tangs would keep the tank picked clean of algae growth. Do you know what your Nitrate and Phosphate levels are at?

Are you using tap water or RO/DI. If you are using tap water you are probably loaded with phosphates. How much do you feed and how big is your tank. Even if you test for phosphates they probably will not show up. The algae is using it up.
