Aquarium Advice Regular
First, if I have posted this in the wrong area I apologize . . .
I have a well established 30 gallon SW cube tank - fish only. For quite some time, I have been struggling with algae - brown in color. On the average, I end up cleaning the inside glass every two to three weeks. However, I often have to use other tools to almost scrape the algae of portions of the inside glass. I have been very frugal about lighting the tank, and I am not overfeeding. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on how to improve my situation? Are there any chemical treatments (such as Algone) that anyone can reccomend? Maybe my situation is not out of the ordinary. Just looking for some advice. Thanks.
FYI - I will be installing a new Eheim 2213 Filter next week to replace my existing Penguin BioWheel 170 - maybe that will help?
