My reef tank of 75 gallons has been set up and running for about 7 years. At one time it was in great shape and beautiful with about 13 different corals. It has been moved twice. As time went on, the condition of the tank started to fall as it became increasingly more difficult to take care of it. About a year ago, every thing in the tank died except for my 2 clown fish that I've had since day 1 and a Zenia coral. Bristle worms were coming out of every crevice and dying. Aphasia which is hard enough to control was dropping dead. I also lost a yellow tang. Ever since this event I have been losing the battle. Algie is out of control and no matter how much I remove and how often I change the water, it comes back within a few days. I'm not over feeding and I only have the two Clowns. My question is at this point what are my options. Should I find a new home for my beloved clowns and start over, losing the Zenia coral? Do I black out the tank, keeping the fish and losing the Zenia?
