Thanks everyone for the comments.
Rebel- I can't post links, just do a google search on rowaphos, lots of information out there. It seems to be the best at removing excess phosphates. I figure my fuge will take care of the nitrates, they are between 1 and 2 so basically no nitrates. I don't have a test for phosphates yet, but I bet they are high considering how much algae I have. Of course I just started mixing my own sw, 2 water changes ago. I think the rowaphos, along with chemi-pure, purigen and a fuge with chaeto and I should have a tank with very little algae in the next month or two. I have also been toying with the idea of building my own stand, and putting a 5 gallon turf scrubber in the bottom that would be plumbed into the back of my tank somehow.

how do the blenny and the six line get along? that shot of the two together is freak'n awesome.
Thanks
So far so good. The first 10 seconds after I added the bicolor the sixline was pissed. After that there hasn't been a single issue. They will swim past each other, next to each other. Really for the most part the blenny just perches in his big cave and the sixline just swims by every minute or so looking for pods. Then every 1-2 minutes the bicolor blenny swims around and starts munching on algae, he does that for about 10-15 seconds, then right back to one of his caves
It is wonderful to watch. I haven't spent this much time looking at my tank since I put my sixline in.
Long term, everyone is being watched, if I have to any fish will be removed at anytime, no iffs ands or butts
That is the way it goes down in Subielover's tank

Thanks everyone. Hopefully the algae will be much much less soon. Blenny is eating like a pig, and it doesn't seem to be growing at the rate that it was before. So that is good news
As for my car Alex, I have a clutch waiting to go in. I was thinking of doing the timing belt at the same time, because the 01 Impreza has about 94k miles on her

Tank is looking better, algae is definitely not spreading like it was, now I just have to stay on top of it. I am just treating this as a learning experience.
