Icp looks pretty good...
System running For 1 year now, the rock in cryptic Chamber is 7 years live

DT is clean and beautiful , clean glass daily/every other.
Frag tank... gets brown/red slimy algae on glass, racks, frag plugs, loc lines, nem box , rock etc..

Frag tank,,,I remove and scrub everything 2x per week, and dose 8ml microbactor , and shut off return for 4 hours for it to set in....(8 weeks now)

What's going on ?,,,, need help

Is the flow in your frag tank the same as your DT?
Good question
DT 5 mp40s and return Lines also offer decent flow

Frag tank,,,,, 10 days ago, I removed 4x mj600's and replaced with 1 tunze osmolater

The return is a bit slower in frag tank as well

My turbo snails in frag are getting hairy algieri on them
