How do you keep the algae from growing all over the rocks? Mine never looked as clean as yours.

yep, we'll have you back to Malawi soon enough!
well, as for the ocean rock and algae
1. Lighting, max is about 6 hrs a day for me and i have made sure its no where near a window. Also, somedays the lights are on for only 3-4 hours and also generally one day a week they are not on at all.
2. I did bleach my ocean rock once, that was because they were just brown, i dont mind green, but they were brown! I think you could bleach them every 3-months or so and keep lighting down and it would be ok.
3. Water quality, i think really doing loads of water changes helps too.
