Aquarium Advice Regular
for some reason algae is not growing in mine.... i have algae eaters, and I have to feed them wafers to stay alive. Ive tried more light, direct sunlight...etc.. not results.

Ha, I guess I'm not the only one. I'm seriously considering doing the same thing. My tank is about 1 1/4 years old and is seriously overrun with hair algae. I've tried everything you mentioned and nothing is working! It's driving me crazy!
I'm also not the impatient type, I even posted a thread a while back to encourage newbies that they can do it if they are patient! Now, I'm feeling like throwing in the towel myself.

Do not buy a Red Sea Prizm... I have one sitting in my garage right now... A complete waste. It doesn't skim at all no matter how much you adjust the flow, and will dump tons of bubbles into the tank for months until the acrylic it's made of ages. I have seen the Prizm Pro used in lfs, and it seemed to work a little better, but I'd avoid them altogether.
