Hi, we have an 80 gallon aquarium that has lately gone to you know where. It's a diaster zone, the reason is that I took time off to care for a dying parent and then got into a shortage of funds. Anyway, I want to get the tank back into shape and need the advice. I am running 2 fluval canisters, UV filter and protien skimmer, along with 3 power heads. I can not remember what my lighting is but from what I hear it's A+. The problem is that with the tank being neglected for about 1 year it's got alge. I had a REALLY bad deal going with REALLY thick green alge before and had to throw out my live rock. So now I only have about 2 pieces of live rock in the tank. My issue is that I want to get rid of the alge and have crystal clear water. My water is clear, but I think it can be clearer than what it is now. Any suggestions. Thanks.
