First of all I just want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for creating this website. I have been battling algae in my tank for god knows how long. It got so bad that I just wanted to quit but I just couldn't because I love this hobby. This was due to high Nitrates and Phosphates. I have tried everything from DSB to doing 30% water changes a week and nothing and I mean nothing seemed to work. I've even tried using API Algaegone, also tried dosing the AZ-NO3. After running my scrubber for a month I have been made a believer of ATS. Here are my before and after pics. I know it's pretty bare but I wanted to make sure I have good water quality before I start to adding fish and corals. I've also started to see an increase in my coraline algae as well. I had one small piece of live rock with coraline on the right side of the tank and now it's starting to spread :D
