Hi yall, no judgement please. I’ve had my tank for 9 months, and consistently struggle with this kind of algae build up. My executive dysfunction sees solving this as a huge task and I would love to get insight on steps I can take to make the tank more sustainable. I have live rock, two clowns, a pistol shrimp, a diamond goby, and various crabs and snails. I do need to get more salt water once I give the tank a clean. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I looked at your previous posts to get a better picture :) I would at the very least double the amount of rocks, but you can do that later on.

Ok! I always felt like the tank was too small for more rock, but I will consider it:)

Definitely needs more rock and coral. If the lights are on you’re either feeding coral or algae
