I had the same problem. I just took out the shelves and cleaned them and put them back in a few times. Is this a new frag tank? Do you have any live rock in it? It probably just went through a big cycle and the algea grew like mad. Mine looked better than my lawn in the summer. :eek: I added some more live rock from my main tank and now it is getting better.

i added 5 medium size snails so we'll see what happens and yes its a pretty new tank and i do have live rock in it

I don't have any snails or crabs in my frag tank due to their insidious die off(ammonia spike) and ability to knock over frags. Nor are there any fish. Therefore, I use a refugium with Chaeto and Halimeda. Also, Chemi pure Elite has ferric oxide which remove phosphates and silicates. Seems to be doing the job so far. Good luck!
