The algae started showing up when my tank was fallow. I would feed the shrimp bits of silverside as well as the corals. Fish have gone back in over the last 6+ weeks and are fed once per day, only as much as they will eat. I have a tunze 9012 skimmer, hob fuge with cheato, canister filter that is cleaned thoroughly monthly. For power heads I have an mp10, mp40 and a koralia 750, tank is 55 gl with 65 lbs lr. Lots of snails including sand sifters, and hermits. My last tests showed my alk was low (6). I don't have any other algae issues, I think the branching stuff came in in a coral frag. Any other suggestions, Im not sure if it's over feeding as I'm careful. What else should I be looking for?
