how do i get green algee to not come back

[danny zubot]

I find that keeping my ph and alk slightly higher really helps cut down on many types of algea. Many corals don't mind the higher alk as well.

I use the multifactorial approach.

1. Skimming etc. to keep good water quality
2. Yellow Tang
3. Snails

bleach, and sterile additions after that.

A lawnmower blennie couldn't hurt either.

Hmm lets see,so many things you can do.But without knowing the culprit,who knows what will work.How about lots of high % water changes,go easy on the flake if you feed it,rinse frozen food before feeding it,get rid of uneaten food after feeding,keep mech filters clean if you use them,change bulbs if they are getting old,keep skimmer clean,try a refugium with chaeto if you dont already have one.Try them all and you should have some success,but don't get discouraged if you still have some algea,damn tenacious stuff.

golden rabbit, fox face rabbit, purple tang, sailfin tang, and my yellow tang sure help with algae control

My sea hare has done a serious number on all kinds of algae. It poops like a @#$%, though!
