What type of algae, any photos? I have been running with 4 turbo snails and so far algae is manageable. I believe increasing the water flow will also helps. I am also running an oversize skimmer and it seems to work for me.

Sump: 3ft

Skimmer: Bubble Magus Curve 7

Lightings: Maxspect 15000k

What type algae? Never use A toothbrush on zoos etc corals...Use a Turkey Baster To Blow off...If Its brown carefull ..sometimes they can make a zoas close for long peroids of time..Try Increasing flow ..Also check you no3 and po4 and pinpoint the source of the algae....I Rarely get algae but when i do,,i siphone out as much weekly..If on zoas just Hit them with some flow..
