Hey Marc, I have a serious nuisance algae problem...only in my sump, and it's driving me nuts. Any ideas. I have lots of flow in there and I just can't seem to get rid og the...mostly HA and a little BA.

That's the reason I started with the sump in the first place. was tearing out the frag area because that's the only place it is bad and after I got my head under there it was too ugly and I decided to pull the whole thing apart.
If you have light in the sump area, algae may grow. You could put some snails in there. If it is growing in the refugium, don't worry about it. If it is anywhere else, scrape and siphon it out to keep it from spreading.

If you have a propagation section, maybe you can make some type of shield to keep the light from shining on other areas.
