Liverock and algae problems...

Getting lots of algae on the rocks had the tank about 2 months. How to get rid of the algae?

Scrape the glass.
Feed less.
What do you do for nutrient export? (Protein Skimmer? Filter sock? Phosphate media? Water changes?)
Add more snails + hermit crabs- those are the natural clean-up crew.
-or-
Contract a professional tank maintenance to handle this, (there are some on here!)

Two months is a very young tank. Algae is fairly common and expected in high nutrient systems.

That nice pair of perc's want an anemone once you get the nutrients handled!

Mite just replace the rock. The rock was already established when I got it. Red sea already comes with good skimmer. But I turned it off for few weeks. Thought it wouldn't matter since the water volume very small. Water changes should take care of it. Thanks for the advice.

Microbactor 7 and Microalgae seemed to work in my tank.

Or try VIBRANT. That's suppose to rid algae as well

[cshplumber]

Does any LFS sell Vibrant or do you have to order it online?

Too much light!

Can't really tell from the picture if you have a clean up crew but that doesn't look like anything goes a few hermits and snails can't take care of.

I think the tank is a lost cause. You should give it to me.
