My tank has been running for about 2 1/2 years. In the past few months it has gone down hill. I need to figure out what to do. I have researched this site and have seen different suggestions. I have lots of hair algae, green algae on my rocks and sand bed and a horrible outbreak of bubble algae. I have tried poly ox to treat the bubble algae and this didn't really work. My tank looks horrible, what do I need to do to fix this problem? Do I need to take everything out of the tank and rebuild it? If so, will this get rid of the bubble algae? My tank is 130 gallons, I have probably about 200 lbs of live rock and a 2 - 3 inch sand bed. I think my problem started with a horrible warm that got into my tank with new l/r I bought several months ago, he got big enough and started killing my clean up crew and eating them. I need suggestions, I'm getting desparate and about to call the saltwater fish store to come take care of the problem...Thanks! Also everytime I clean out the protein skimmer, it fills with bubbles/dirty water very quickly. I have a DAS tank, so the filtration system is built in.
