Tank "Beauty" Secrets!!

[fish freak2012]

I would like you to share your tips for keeping your tank squeeky clean!I have been having an algea problem. this is not the algea that you can just scoop up and flush, this algea is everywhere. it is a greenish brow algea with lots of little bubbles sticking to is. it is all over the sand and rocks. I have tried to get rid of it but then in the morning it will be right back. it makes my tank look like CRAP.

i have seen some of your tanks on here and it makes me glad that i dont know how to put the pics on here,lol. so any advice would be great.

Dont use tap water, get alot more snails, water changes refugium with chaeto and other macro algaes to eat away the food source for your algae in your tank.
There are fish that eat algae, lawnmower blenny tangs and others.

You haven't done a water change in how long? Never?
