In the last week or so I have seemed to have inherited an algae
bloom or something. It is awful. I have dosed with chemiclean and
done a 15% water change. The stuff is just growing like grass in there
it is growing on the rock mostly and smothering out my coral. What
can I do quickly to get rid of this mess!!! Lights are on about 9-10 hours
a day for the coral in a 20 gallon tank. My phosphate is probably off
and nitrate. Corals don't seem to be looking too happy now and they
were thriving.:thanks:
 
You need to get your phosphates under control. Also IMO I think your lights are on too long.
