Just like the thread says I am wondering what everyone is doing. I used a Mag-Float on my 150. I wanted to try Algae Free but not sure I can justify the price. answer the poll and let me know what you are doing about algae on the glass.

I am currently using them now. They do a good job but I got some algae on the bottom where the sand is that needs the scrapper. I love Mr. Clean.Need a other category, I use Mr clean original magic erasers
I have been using my same UV I had on my 150 gallon. 55 watt. I think I need something a tad more powerful. I am not sure how to size those things.I really like the Flipper, but it would be better if the scraper side floated. I've had it fall into my frogspawn more than once when I got cute skipping from the front to the side.
I would also suggest a properly sized UV. I have no green haze on the glass after upgrading to a good UV and the difference in water clarity is amazing. It is well worth the $ IMO.

Yeah I keep the flow slow at about 350-400gph for parasites. my water is clear thoughThat is a pretty strong UV for that size tank (0.37W/g). I have a 15 watt on my Reefer 250 (0.23W/g). Maybe your flow rate is too low? For algae you want to run a lot of water through it. Also, the bulbs die in about a year, so that's something to consider.
