i ordered some new and better testing quits to try to figure out this a little bit better. One thing I don't have is turbos snails. I am getting some of them with my next pay check.

its not that bad, but its consistant. Green algea. its on the rocks, on the bottom of my bb tank. Its not that bad but its not good, but now the water can't drain properly to the sump. I have a cover over the trap, but still.

We'll need a good description of your set up and as many parameters as you can test for.

the best thing i ever did for my initial algea outbreak was to buy 100 turbos from ebay, since then I have no algea anywhere!

the second best thing esp for green algea is a foxface, mine single handedly destoyed all signs of any type of algea that the turbos could not/did not want to get to.
