BIG problem with algae

[kam]

It hasnt been maintained for a few months so i have my work cut out for me. I feel like an ass and used work as an excuse. I dont plan on adding anything until this gets under control. I've looked into buying a better skimmer, something more reliable. I think that the coralife 125 is an entry level skimmer and just doesnt cut it. I'll be purchasing a phosban reactor and hopefully a mp40 to help with my existing powerheads to get better water flow. In general I have been working on upgrading most of my equipment. Bulbs in my lighting setup will be changed tomorrow as I have just received my new 14k's. The 10Ks were original.

I took pictures with my phone so hopefully it can give you an idea of whats going on. Please, be gently..



leather doing well



I have a few tangs (hippo, yellow tang and a naso tang), they have been eating the algae since ive slowed down on feeding a lot



And... an "epic fail"
