ive got a newbie question, i see all these awesome pics of all your tanks and i dont see any algae problems. being that i dont have a tank yet, are you only taking pix when there isnt algae, or is there a constant battle with it, or does it cycle?? or are your tanks relatively algae free and this whole phos sponge thing is just preventative? forgive my ignorance

thanks in advance
im still learning tonnes and tonnes
