Green Water Column

[AJ_77]

My tank reminds me lately of a FW algae outbreak I once had that turned that tank's water green. So I am concerned about the murky tinge in my less than 3 mos. old reef tank. (90g, 33g sump, 5" DSB, 125 lbs LR, 4 OVRNO, 2 NO actinic, skimmer, added Fluval with carbon and floss yesterday)

The white bucket I used for my 2nd water change this week was definitely showing the yellow/green water colour. I'm not missing any animals, can't see anything dead, don't have many animals actually (pair perculas, small scopas tang, cleaner crew, few softies). Have a bit of red diatoms on the sandbed. Have cut back the photoperiod and feeding schedule - so many pods they won't starve anyways...

I've searched the boards with little result, can anyone offer some advice? Many thanks,

Alan
