Algae bloom help

That is a huge bio load for that size of tank. I have heard success stories with guys running phosphate removers. I have personally never tried, but I am going to on my next trip to the LFS

You may need to part with some of the fish. Its hard to do but...

Also a crazy eater of algea is a Mexican Turbo Snail, but you might not have enough algea for him to eat at your current size long term.

Cool, thanks guys.
Ive put up 3 of my gobies and 2 peppermints up for sale.
I'd like to keep the blenny as at least he's helping out the algae situation... although he does **** alot, hmmm..

Get NP Pellets reactor going make sure they are aggressively turning.
TLF reactor might work if you have strong pump (not MJ 1200)

I agree with most of whats been said but lots of $$$$$$$ solutions.. instead of adding a refuge you could try a diy one out of a large aquaclear hob filter.. i have used them in the past as i am just starting my first sumped tank...

Take the carbon out of your aquaclear and add some cheato, then have its photo period opposite the tanks.

Mexican turbos are great for hair algae but they get huge and start rescaping your tank for you..

IMO shrimp are a positve to your bioload as the eat left over food and deitrus....

For future stocking options this is a decent guideline for nanos..

Cool, thanks for the tips.
I thought about doing the Aquaclear fuge setup like you've suggested, although i thought adding some water volume through a full scale fuge would be a better route to go.

I'll post any progress in the future.
