So I'm have a 24 gal tank running. Everything is goog pretty well. I only have 2 clowns in and a few zoas. It seem like all my parameters are doing fine no nitrate or nitrite. Calcium is at 440. Ph usually hovers at 7.9 to 8.1. Alk is at 10ppm. I have had a nice little algae spread happen. A couple of fellow reefers said it was green coraline and eventually it will turn purple. Now I'm getting some red algae string up again and it spread pretty quick. I was able to get it to slow down once I started using my skimmer but it's still persistent. It's been sitting on the back and rocks for around a month now. There is a spot in the back of my tank where the previous owner had put chaeto and I even have a light for it. I also do a 5 gal weekly water change. So should I use the compartment with chaeto, and will that help in the future with algae or just be more patient and wait it out.
