Removing algae?

[Brancho]

Hey everyone. So this algae is starting to grow pretty rapid and is killing my coral! What's the best way to remove it? It's 130 gal tank 9 months old. Should I scrub it with a toothbrush and vacuum it up with water change? Or dose with microbacter clean and let it run its course? Or if you have any better ideas? Please help ty

"killing your coral" so vacuum out what you can. Tank looks really clean (too clean?) so before agreeing to microbacter 7 (which I love btw) first check that your water parameters didn't hit 0. It has that snotty look...

Hey Brancho. You may be able to suck them out with this homemade device. Get a 1/4" stainless steel straw and a length of hose to fit over straw. Use a rubber band to seal the straw in hose. Do this with every water change or just when you need to, works great.
