I have what I believe to be green turf algae on my back glass. It is nowhere else on my tank, only the back glass. I have a Waterbox, 22 gal display 11 gal sump, SPS dominant tank. Tanks been up for a year and a half now. My parameters are
Temp: 78, Salinity: 1.025
Alk: 8.5, Cal: 440, Mag: 1500
Nitrate: 2, Phosphate: 0.03
I’m pretty sure that my nutrients are low because of this in display algae scrubber. I have 2 Clowns, a Royal Gramma, and a Pajama Card and I feed them twice a day, flakes/pellets early afternoon, frozen in the evening. I feed reef roids once every 4 days. I dose All For Reef to maintain my Alk, Cal and Mag. I run a skimmer, filter floss, UV and carbon but no GFO. My photoperiod is 9 hours with a 1 hour ramp up, 7 hours full intensity, 1 hour ramp down. I’ll scrape it off only for it to come back a few days later. Any suggestions on how to combat this. If I go chemical any advice on what the best treatments are. Thanks
