I am new to keeping saltwater fish I’ve been doing it for about a little over a year and the entire time I’ve struggled with algae mainly stringy brown algae on the sand and long stringy brown algae on my rocks for the first year I didn’t have rodi but about 4 months ago I invested in one and while I saw slight improvements I wasn’t very satisfied I do a 7 gallon water change per week on a 32 gallon tank and I just need solutions
 
sorry to hear about tank, what are the water parameters? esp NO3 & PO4. also any pix would help.
 
What sort of light do you have and do you have a picture.

N03 reads 0 ppm
NH3 is reading 0
N02 is reading 0
And I don’t have a P04 test kit
I’m not sure if these are accurate I’m using an api freshwater test kit because I heard it also worked for saltwater I included a picture of the test in the order I listed above left to right

pix of algae is not clear but it appears there are bubble on the algae, can u confirm this? If so then that is Dino from low nutrient. this thread discusses it in detail

Did you ever solve this issue because I have the bio cube 32 as well and it’s nasty looking...
