One other small point I should make after re-reading your post: Your pH is about a full point too low. That's a lot.
Aim for 8.2-8.4.[/quote]
i agree. a pH of 8.3 is optimal.

| your pH is low but that wouldnt cause the algae. ive found that its inadequate lighting a reef tank requires at least 4 watts per gallon even if it is by a window( which is a bad idea). There is a product called marine max that is live bacteria that eats the sludge from your substrate and an surface of your tank without harming fish or coral. not to step on any toes though i would not disrupt your sand or you will run the risk of an ammonia or nitrite spike which is very bad. the way i battled mine was with a turkey baster, a fish net and my hands. i just blew it off of surfaces( rocks, plants, corals, tank sides and sand) and using the net just scoop it up before it goes in your intake.
