Is the frag tank plumbed into a bigger tank?..... if so, its kinda a tough thing.....Im having this same battle with mt tanks.....large tank with tangs and angels has no algae.....smaller tank that is plumbed in with no tangs or angels has tonnes of algae.....I know what my issue is tho.....nutrients!!!..... the big tank is overstocked and has plenty of nutrients that feeds the algae in the small tank.....Ive tried a massive clean up crew, seashares and urchins.....didnt work for me.......if the tank is on its own then a good skimmer, reactors and a low biolaod should do the trick....
