How to get rid of this…

[kingalee]

I’m finally posting on here as I have no clue where to go with this now. The tank is empty (and has been for almost 3 weeks now, bc of ich) how do I get rid of the algae? I can’t cut the lights due to having coral, I can’t get the algae eaters as there was ich (or velvet idk which one) and I have some hermits but they’re not doing enough and the algae is getting worse. That being said what would be the best way to tackle this as it looks horrible…

Tank has been setup for 4 months and was cycled in 2 weeks with turbo start and ammonia.

I can get parameters if needed. Coral has been fine and so have the invertebrates. I just can’t get SPS to grow well.

You can try snails or urchins

+1 on a good CUC to include a urchin

it looks like the sps is mixed in with the sps, so the sps will not be getting enough light and flow. SPS like higher light and higher flow than lps does. Some of your lps are even higher than the sps, so I have the impression its a low light low flow tank.

What kind of lights do you have and what intensity?

They are in there at the moment bc I was informed this not too long ago, the PAR isn’t where it needs to be. I have another 125G cycling for them at the moment with high PARs
