Anenomes and algae removal

[mrjohnreed]

I have a 90 gallon tank that was a FOWLR but now I am converting it over to an anenome tank. I am battling a algae issue in the tank which I am now working on. I just tested my Nitrates and Phosphates and these are the levels I got:
Nitrates: 10ppm
Phosphate: 0ppm

I am really not sure what is going on or how to fix the issue without having any issues with my current fish and anenome inhabitants. Currently there are 2 Condy anenome, 1 rockflower anenome, 1 bubble-tip anenome and 1 long tentacles anenome. The anenomes are doing fine. I am completing a 25% water change tommorrow and scrubbing the glass. Any assistance or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I’d add to the clean up crew, and maybe feed more or dose P to keep it off zero.

Since it was a FOWLR you’ll likely be battling leaching nutrients from the rocks for a few months. It comes from the rocks directly into the algae. But it runs out eventually. Just keep a strong CUC, low-ish nutrients, and manual removal. Some tangs help too, and rabbit fish, and lawnmower blennies.

Can you post a pic of the tank to see what kind of algae we are dealing with?

Here are a couple pictures before I begin to do my maintenance today for reference.
