snails are good. but get super annoying after awhile -.- crawl all over my corals...

For me ahh...i feed flakes in the morning and when i come back in the evening, diatoms sprout liao...gana sai.

So i control the food intake of my fishes to once a day and change 10% water every 3 days, but the brown algae still appear.

Tell you la brother, so long as under control can already...i recently use the Reefmax Ridphos. You can check out www.jirehmarine.com

Effectiveness dun know yet, just try 2 days ago only.

i feed my tank heavily everyday to get my moorish idol immune system up. i can easily feed 5-6 times a day with henry's food, mysis and pellets. can see in one day my protein skimmer skim out alot of sai. in the morning, glass clean, evening time, thin film of brown algae.

worst thing is, i dun even have a NO3 test kit XD. but should be alright bah the levels. my corals are still blooming and fish are still swimming, so i guess NO3 levels acceptable...and i have no algae growing on rocks either
