Algae on Rock.

[Somersaultsam]

New to reef keeping and was wondering how to get rid of the green algae on my dry rock.

Algae is a normal part of our tanks, but things you can do to minimize it:
add a powerhead to create some flow.
Control your nitrate and phosphate
Limit your lighting period.
Avoid too much pellets/flake food
Manual removal

Thanks I’ll try to decrease my lights and feed less food.

Your clown is swimming at the water surface, the tank desperately needs some kind of flow, to help with gas exchange and fry some oxygen into the water. HOB filter is not flow, you need a powerhead . pointed at the water surface

Do you have any good power heads that look clean and would help to oxygenate the water.
