Hi Mark,

Get a diatom filter. In 15 min your problem is gone.  It's worth every
penny.

Peace,

Greetings , My name is Mark, I have the following , 50 gl FW set-up, twin
330's biowheel filters, two powerheads , lighting is by 6 48" 40 watt full
spectrum bulbs staged at 2 on @ morning , four by midday, six by 2pm (1400)
, then of in order starting @ sundown. Many live plants, community tank W/
everything from golden Killies to Violet Gobies. Everyone gets along.
Feeding once daily with Frozen Brine shrimp/bloodworms, one a day with
flake.
Only problem is occasional algae blooms , Water changes @ 20% weekly, 80%
monthly. Use Declor/stresscoat/leafzone

My substrate is a mixture @ 4-6 in. deep of the following , 0,00,000 coral
sand from florida(calcium carbonate), this makes up about 50% , the rest is
jade/jasper/agate from gemstone beach in central California and hard carbon
, the last material is changed out every 6 months ...
Any suggestions ??
