REALLY need to get this setup ASAP. Its a 150g long tank. The tank is fully cycled and I have three small fish in it. After the initial diatom outbreak after the tank was cycled, I've noticed hair algae growing on pieces of LR that broke off when setting up the tank(they're on the sand bed). The rock itself is great. Also the sand has areas where it's discolored and it looks like an off color....not cyano..but some algae certainly...it's not clumpy..it's hard to describe.
What would you suggest? Whomever I order from I'd hope they sell conches. I've read nothing but positives about how awesome they are at keeping the sandbed clean.
For flow, I have 2 Koralia 7s(40%-80%) and 2 Koralia 1s(50-100%) with an alternating pattern on a wavemaker 4. I have approximately 3-400# of LR in the display and about 75# in the sump. I do a 20g water change weekly, run phosguard and carbon in bags in the sump. All coral and fish look good...just don't want this algae to become a problem. The sandbed seems like my biggest issue atm
