"Enough is Enough, I've had it with this ALJAE!"

[The1and only]

SO I battled algae in my nano then in my 60 and I found the best cheapest way is to build a cheap ATS for instructions on a bucket style on go here.

Every week I would take a tooth brush and get any algae off my rock work. It took me about two months to be algae free.

cooking your rock is an option but more time, work, and money than building a ATS

Also remember that phosphates are stored in your LR and in the algae so test kits may come up with low numbers but still have unwanted growth. Since your LR will take some time to leech out all the phosphates there is no quick cure here and choosing a course of action and sticking to it for at least two months is the way to go.

Thread title say's it all, how can i get rid of the annoying algae all over my tank, i get rid of it. Then in a day it all comes back even on the decorations!

HELP

I'll keep this simple and short for you.......

AlgaeFix

I add it every three days to my 300g FO setup...no algae!

Need pictures...algae ID...water params...photo period...water change/maitenence schedule...and what sort of hardware you are running on this tank. Then we can help.

No point in boiling your rock...if ATS stands for "auto topoff system" that also makes no sense. Algae is easy to fix...we just need to know whats going on in your tank.

I get it, its not awful or over bearing though, and I use RODI water. He could just as easily fix it with a generic reactor and pump with some GFO since I am sure it is phosphate related.
