This should help you with the algae a bit...
Thx for the advice. I've tried couple of those but I'm resorting to a 90% water change and brushing off the live rocks. I'll let them settle for a month or so and slowly start restocking once all the params are good and algaes start disappearing.
I'm thinking an emerald crab as well.

I've got few messages, so I'm selling them to whoever contacted me first. I guess that'd be the fairest thing to do.

Try a sea hare, they helped us one time, and i think they are so "cute" in their own way. The only bad thing is, when the algea gone, so must be them.

I had some pretty epic hair algae for a while, turned out all I had to do was adjust my flow so that sand (and nitrates/phosphates) couldn't settle on my rock as easily...

Now I know why we're supposed to turkey baste out 'scapes every so often.
