Hi,
Apparently my Theiling rollermat was malfunctioning for about 2-3 weeks and the fleece wasn't filtering anything during this whole time (there was an opening in the fleece so water level didn't go up and the fleece didn't rotate).
As a result this nuisance algae has been plagueing both my sump and tank since. The sump looks much worse since I guess nothing is eating it. I have a FOLWR so I believe the tangs are controlling the algae in the DT. What can I introduce to the sump that will eat this algae? I prefer not to insert snails, or at least not a species that can reproduce in my tank.
Also: Nitrates are 1 and phosphate is 0.01
Thanks!
