How long have you had the set up

[asiavage]

3 months before my re-scaping.the problems that my algaes grow i believed is my water...mixing salt with tap water..hhahah...now have added anti chlorine n have to wait for nex few month for the outcome.

[asiavage]

[Tanga]

I bought them from all over the place but I will only buy US zoo cos had bad experience with normal zoos (nudis attacked).

Love the sparkles on the Yellow Goby... such a waste you've given it away... does it play with the sand a lot?

Well... adding Anti-chlorine is good to remove chlorine in tap water... but it will not stop algae growth... perhaps you wanna consider running a FR or add a bag of Phosphate removal media such as Aquapharm SORB4 or Rowaphos into your sump. One of the main problem to tackle to discourage algae growth is Phosphate.
