HELP...Algae and flow issues

@kfoerster

[Inhabitants: Clean up crew, pistol shrimp, yellow watchman goby, two clowns.....note some of my cleanup crew (specifically the Ceriths) have died off or the pistol has taken them down.]
2-3 inch sand bed (Fiji pink)

You have no herbivores in your clean up crew. Pistol shrimp is an omnivore/opportunist that will clean uneaten food. Get more diversity in your snails, including pods as herbivores.

Why 2-3” sandbed. I suggest you add detrivores to diversity in you4 sandbed. What is your present sandbed maintenance?
