Need help with Algae PLEASE
I have this brown algae on my glass. Its brown and stringy . I have tried every thing to get rid of it. The only thing that worked was a total black out for three days and the algae was gone for 2 weeks. Now its back stronger than ever. I clean it completely off the glass and 2 days later its everywhere. I have cut back on feeding to every other day. I have added 2 phos-ban reactors one with phosar hc and the other with carbon. Cut lighting back to 7 hrs a day. I do weekly wc of about 20+ gallons of RO/DI. Nothing seems to help. I really would like some help here. I am getting very discouraged.
Tank parameters and equipment: 180 gallon running 4 months 200 lbs live rock 240 lbs. of live sand 3600 gph dart pump 2 korlias 4 Geo Kalk and Calcium reators 225 coralife super protein skimmer 54 watt uv RO/DI water 7 fish, 2 shrimp, sea , 2 sea cucumbers, brittle star, snails and grabs Salinity:1.025 temp: 76 Ph: 8.2 - 8.3 calcium: 420 Alkalinity: 9 dkh Magnesium: 1350 nitrate: 0 nitrite: 0 P04: 0 Here are 2 pic that are not the best.
