Posted	Algae problems
03-10-2006 14:55 by RobY	I have a marine set up with Deltec skimmer and lot of live rock/corals. All has been fine for some time with me performing 10% water change weekly. However, only recently I am suffering from excessive algae. It seems to be covering the live rock and turning from Red to brown/green and is now even starting to grow on my corals - start polyps in particular. My phos is fine as too are my nitrates. Any advice would be welcome..
03-10-2006 17:55 by trik	last time this was raised i had suffered with the same problem i asked the guy how old his test kits were , he replied nothing wrong with them , next day he put a thread up and said it was hes test kit , i also had that same problem which is why i asked, and now ask you . my old test kit showed 0 nitrates bought a new one and i was way above 75mgl.
