Algae bloom problem
« on: January 13, 2012, 02:33:37 PM »
Hello,

I am having trouble correcting an algae bloom problem.  I have a white cloudy and green algae explosion going on in my tank.  I have set up several tanks and never had a problem to this extent.  I have recently changed to a 14 gallon bio cube from a 55 gallon tank.  I have done the usual corrections to this problem, I believe.  Meaning, I have done water changes, protein skimmed, adjusted lighting conditions, added the usual chemicals, and even done a complete water change. I still can't seem to rid my tank of this problem.  Can any one assist me with this problem?

How long has the tank been set up?  do you have any corals in the tank?  What kind of algae do you have in the tank?

The smaller the tank, the larger the problem as a rule of thumb; things tend to be more concentrated.....
