So ive been battling some algae after a 2 day black out 2 weeks ago. In the past couple days it has gotten bad all over the tank. I leave for a week starting Saturday. What would be a good course of action leading up till when I leave? In the past week Ive done two different 10 gallon and a single 20 gallon water change, it has not helped. Tank is a 60 cube and will be moved to a new tank after I get back.

I’m not sure what that is, but I wouldn’t do anything extreme if you’re about to leave town. Water changes sound good. What are your nutrient levels (nitrates and phosphates)?
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
