Default Green Algae Problem with new tank

Sam,

I agree,if you bumped up your tank size almost double,you should probably do the same with your herbivour population.
1 snail per gal is a good goal,and as stated above Zebrasoma are excellent grazers.

I dont believe Nitrates on their own are the culprit,you might want to try another phosphate test kit (not the tabs...no good IMVHO.)

Whats your alk at?
Skimmer?

Oh Ya.... and WELCOME to the Canreef BB! [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Marc.
