The tank is a few months old. It is 30 gallons FOWLR. Substrate is crushed coral (I know now that was a mistake I took most of it out a while ago) 30 pounds of live rock. I do not have a skimmer and don't plan to buy one for this tank (I'm going to be setting up a 190 gallon so I'm saving money for that) I was told by lots of people that a skimmer isn't totally necessary for a tank this size. I thought I had enough flow with to hang on filters but I could buy a power head to help. I add water as it needs it and do a water change every week to 10 days. How long should my lights be on for? Is there something I can buy that will eat this stuff? A crab maybe? The LFS has sally lightfoots and hermits. The algae is darker than when that pic was taken it is dark brown to almost black in color now. It's growing on the LR and substrate. I hope this is enough info. Let me know if I left anything out
Thanks for any help.
