Are you experiencing an algae issue?

[jrob3rts]

I have noticed that more people are experiencing issues with algae at over the last year than the year before. It would be good to try and identify a percentage of those experiencing issues, against those who are not.

I consider an "issue" to be where algae is:
1. Invasive
2. Ugly

No

but for 3 months prior I've had nuisance/ugly algae issues due to adding reef bones, just got over it now

No thankfully, no algae issues for 3 years. First year was a bit ropey. Only feed the fish every 3 days and keep an algae Blenny and a few tangs

just got rid of it had hair algae think it may have been due to salt brand change or nopox not keeping my phosphates as low as normal
