Looking for something to keep algae in check in my 10 gal. coral QT. Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations? It's really starting to get out of hand lol
 
add macros to the tank or a hob refugium. and do a big deep clean and scrub next time its empty. it would only be 15 gal of new water.
 
Pinpoint the cause. Anything that eats algae eventually poops out the components that grow more algae. On a tank as small as that, more frequent water changes, with a larger volume being changed should control it relatively quickly.
 
Thanks guys, Ill be sure to increase my water change schedule and look for some improvements.
