Great job CJ and love the way the tank looks. A way I battled hair and turf algae in my last tank was to buy 2 or 3 Black Sailfin Mollies and acclimate them to saltwater. Once in the tank they quickly started eating the algae. Best part was once they finished with the algae they readily accepted flake. You can check this out by watching the Mike Palletta frag tank videos on American Reef's channel.

Looking good, one of my favorite tanks on YouTube.

First video I have seen of yours. Def subscribing and I will look forward to more from you. Very well done my man! Very well done

looking sweet bro, corals look awesome and that multi bar angel is a show stealer 👍well done on clearing all the algae, I'm having a similar battle myself right now, trying to get my tank back to its best after neglecting it for a while. keep up the great work

Awesome video, man. Glad to hear that the algae is mostly under control. And I'm liking the new yellow Damsel. Pretty sure  they get big and mean, though.

Thank You for Sharing. I always get excited when I see the notification that you have posted another video. I'd love to see you talk about what and how often you feed your corals and also what you do or don't dose currently and lighting schedules. Clearly you have some very happy corals and a great looking tank.

Iv followed you from day one but never commented. Bro your tank is amazing WOW. I had the same problem with turf algae so I popped in a juvi lipstick tang and in 2days there was no sign of it. Good luck bro and Keep the vids coming and nice to put a face to the voice too.
👍🏻. T.

Love the vid! Tank is looking awesome. So many wrongs can be corrected with patience and hard work. Best of luck!

Nice vid as usual. I tried the high magnesium thing and I thought it did help with my algae issue I had a while back. It's weird you don't get coraline algae like crazy but at least your getting some. You usually see it on plastic first. When it does take off don't keep the mag float in your tank cuz it will grow on it and you can scratch your tank. Trust me I learned that the hard way.

Hey CJ. Thanks for the Video man Perfect timing. Have a great weekend

[Isaactorres]

I feel like I've watched this video before lol glad you knocked out the hair algae issue you were having. And is looking great like always!

[kgnc]

Everything looks nice like always CJ. love that reef Tank.

[UTUBESTEVED]

great looking tank can't wait to see what you do to it next

[pablomay]

Brother I have been battling GHA also and I have noticed that higher Mg makes it easier for me to pull it off the rock I keep mine at 1400-1450. Thanks for the paper towel and tooth brush Idea.

[andynokes]

Getting some fab growth CJ, looks fantastic 😎👍🏻

[ROTTERtube]

awesome video man. great video quality. i got a crazy breakout in my JBJ45. I want to throw the tank in the garbage! I'll have to scrub all the rocks and i'll try dropping GFO in a bag in one of the baskets.
